Problem with KB951748 XP Update

I, too, could not get on the net after the KB951748 update. I encourage
Microsoft to do a search on the update so they could see how many hits there
are already, and to take this update off of the critical list. T
hankfully, I do not allow XP to automatically download and install updates.
Otherwise, I might have not been able to find the source of the problem so
quickly.

I'm having the same problem with Windows 2k.

Same here. The uodates caused ZoneAlarm to block internet access. I
uninstalled the updates via Add/Remove programs, rebooted, and was boot on.

MS needs to patch these updates to not destroy ZoneAlarm Pro.

Same problem here. Had to do a System Restore and then install updates
one-by-one to determine problem child. KB951748 stopped me from getting
online. Major problem. Microsoft better fix it.

I too installed the updates and lost internet connectivity. I finally
narrowed the problem down to the updates. I used system restore and installed
each download individually. I found KB951748 to be the one causing my
problem. I was able to reconnect as soon as I uninstalled it via add/remove
programs. This should be looked into as I have never before had problems with
my automatic updates.

Both of my machines, one SP2 and one SP3, had problems with Zonealarm and
this update. Uninstalled the update and connectivity was back.....for now.

ZA is not worth having, uninstall it! Use the in-build f/w version in
conjunction with SecinfigXP.
