Aaarrrrrgggg! WTH Microsoft! What the HELL?
My computer runs fine, no problems to speak of until Windows updates. Following the restart I discover I can no long access the internet. After hours and hours of trouble shooting I finally decided that the best course of action would be to do a system restore. Well that worked. I must have restarted by computer half a dozen times before the restore trying to get my network card working again. Hell I couldn't even access the DSL Modem/Router, until after I performed the restore.
What the hell is wrong with Microsoft that when updating the update kills your network card? When I called them they wanted me to pay to fix the problem, a problem that THEY caused. HP was a bit more helpful, they recommended the restore and that worked. I had to lie to them to get the help though, but alls fair in the land of Software and hardware.
I do wish that there was a way to get microsofts attention and FORCE those SOB's to be responsible for what their UPDATES do to peoples computers.
Hell my system clock is still messing up and they haven't even addressed that issue yet. WTH?

Well, now it's my turn to fight with the MS Update from Hell. I tried uninstalling the Cumulative Security Patch for Internet Explorer but even that didn't work. I had to resort to System Restore also.
At least this is a new install and I am in the process of setting things up the way I like.
Not much was lost and it's easily re-installed. I'll be much more wary of MS 'fixes' in the future. Unfortunately, you often do need them. I'll just let others download them first and wait for the field testing report...
Since I plan to install IE 7 I wonder if that will also have a 'Cumulative Security Update'?
