Default Wndows Updates affecting Internet connection

Very often after Windows has automatically downloaded updates I lose my
connection to the Internet (wireless connection) and have to use Systems
Restore to fix it. Can I prevent this happening? I am using Windows Vista
Basic.

Wouldn't it be easier and quicker yet to click on the Network Icon in the

No, because that doesn't reinstall drivers.

Default Wndows Updates affecting Internet connection

In the future look at each update that is checked "prior" to you installing
it. If the update is for your wireless connection remove the check and hide
the update so you won't be tempted to install it.

Get all wireless updates from the device manufacturer.
