no network connections after windows update

[Domd]

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?

 

[Barb Bowman]

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.

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.

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. See

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.

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?

sorry for the delay - new england wind storm, power outage..



at this point, my recommendation is to try again to uninstall the Service Pack.

Thanks Barb,



Glad to see you are back. Hmm, the link recommends I use recovery from the

installation disk. Unfortunately I dont have the disk, dont worry it is a

legal copy of windows and validated!



Is there anything else I can do here?
