no network connections after windows update
Hey Barb
there were a number of updates, mainly security ones and also service pack 2 for vista (which I couldnt uninstall) I uninstalled the others and still no luck. I check the network connections as well, when I click on ipv4 and ipv6 there is no option to uninstall but only to install. When i click to install however it provides 3 options, client, services and protocol each of which does not show any drivers. Im lost with this.

I can't tell from your reply if you just recently installed SP2 but at this
point, I think you should try to reset the TCP/IP stack.

no network connections after windows update
Hey Barb
Thanks again Yes SP2 was installed along with the updates on the 10/02, I couldnt uninstall SP2. I have tried the fix you suggested and this also does not work. When windows loads an error message states that the depedancy or group failed to start (something like that).

Please provide the exact error message. Also check the Windows Event viewers.

no network connections after windows update
Hey Barb
This is what windows says in the bottom right hand corner "Failed to connect to a windows service Wondows could not connect to a system event notification service. This problem prevents limited users from logging on to the system. As an administrative user, you can review the system event log details about why the service didnt respond." Then when i try to bring up the windows event log it says the following; "Event log service is unavailable. Verify the service is running." Seems this is a catch-22.

are you an administrative user? can you create a new user account for testing
and be sure it has administrative privileges and see if you have the same issue?
