Default no network connections after windows update

Hi all I recently updated my vista home and since then I have no network
connections whatsoever.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers for my Intel pro/wireless
3945 ABG network connection and it still doesnt work.

I emailed microsoft support and after 2 days they said check the knowledge
base or post here...

Any ideas?

Default no network connections after windows update

Have you tried a system restore to a point before you performed this update?
WHAT did you update exactly?

Hey Barb, thanks for the reply

I'm not sure what updated, it was an automatic update and restarted the
computer. I'll try a system restore.

Default no network connections after windows update

Ok i tried system restore and windows couldnt restore the system, I tried a
few different dates.

I plugged in the laptop direct with the ethernet cable and it still doesnt
recognise or cant find any network connections.

can you please go into control panel/programs/show installed updates. sort by
date and see if you can determine what the update was and uninstall that?

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.
