Windows Vista Updates cut my internet connection

Windows has recently launched these security updates: KB937143, KB936181,
KB933579, KB936021, KB936782, KB938123, KB938127, KB890830, KB905866. When I
install these updates, I lose my internet connection. Suddenly, my wireless
driver is not recognized by the computer and I cannot re-install or uninstall
the driver. Please help!

Timmee, Sorry to hear this. I'm using Vista and I had to restore my system
to before the updates to fix the problem. Had to restore in safe mode. Now
I am installing the updates one at a time. So far it is ok. Apparently, one
or more of the updates are changing some of the network settings, could be
related to the firewalls, but I am just guessing. It is ashame that these
updates sometimes cause more problems than they solve.

I have the same problem....the update that causes it is, KB933579. Not sure
why it happens, but it doesn't happen if I don't install that update.

I had a similar problem following the August updates. Although Windows Mail
was able to connect and retrieve messages, IE7 was unable to establish a
connection either to the internet or even to my router. On examining the
updates, the only one pertaining to IE7 was the 'Cumulative Security Update
for Internet Explorer', KB937143. When this update was uninstalled, IE7 was
able to connect again. Although my router has wireless capabilities, I do not
use this and my router is connected to my computer via Ethernet (the wireless
settings are turned off in the router). If you are having problems with the
wireless connection, I suggest that you try connecting via Ethernet whilst
you are sorting the problem out (check the instructions for your
modem/router). To prevent this problem happening again, you need to set
KB937143 to be a 'hidden' update.

How do we go to safe mode to do a system restore?

If you follow my instructions in the post 'Problematic Updates in Windows
Vista', also in this newsgroup, you should be able to resolve the problem.

I have a simular problem or???
After installing some August updates my 32 bit IE quit working. The 64 bit
IE still works and anything designed for 64 bit works, unfortunately some of
my applications don't (Network Magic, NOD32, etc. These programs worked
before the update.). I can only assume these programs somehow don't support
64 bit internet connections. I have uninstalled all of the updates since the
middle of August including KB937143 and have had no success in getting things
to work. Any suggestions would be greatey appreciated!!

Read, read, and read some more. The problem is with the 3rd party firewall.
I disabled it, opened the affected applications & everything is operational.
I guess I am a little concerned that an update can cause my security
software to quit updating itself.
