I usually have no problems with automatic updates, but last week restarting
after updates were downloaded internet explorer wil not work but i can
receive rss feeds.Tried every setting i can think of.Turned automatic updates
off to temporarily fix problem. Can anyone help please ?

Windows version? IE version? Define "[will] not work".

Windows xp IE 7 Version 7.0.5730.11IS 128 Bit (IE will not open, screen
displays diagnose connection problems ) Computer seems to not communicate
with modem. Have checked computer and modem settings and passwords. Only fix
i can find is to restore to previous setting. Thanks

You may have a horked (dirty; bad; flawed) install of IE7. I suggest that
you..,

1. Uninstall IE7 (which automatically returns you to IE6) per
http://www.ie-vista.com/kbase2.html

2. Uninstall all toolbars and third-party Windows Themes (including Window
Blinds).

3. Reinstall IE7 per http://www.ie-vista.com/known_issues.html#pre-install,
and using http://www.microsoft.com/windows/downloads/default.mspx as the
installation source, not Automatic/Windows Update.
