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? |

Have you tried a system restore to a point before you performed this update?
WHAT did you update exactly? On Thu, 18 Feb 2010 15:27:01 -0800, Domd wrote: Hi all I recently updated my vista home and since then I have no network connections whatsoever.

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.

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?

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.
