     Yes, I was actually quite surprised that I found the answer so quickly 
on Google. I think a lot of people probably fell into the same trap with 
their machine's setups, much like myself.

   Well, it's not the win update Gail, that's ok, it's the relationship with 
ZA - something hasn't quite married properly this time around program-wise.

Yeah, but the update's doing something to SQL Server too, and that I have a
big issue with. With a mini-presentation tomorrow and 2 biggish conference
presentations in 3 weeks, I can't afford a broken laptop right now.

Actually, my younger brother in Japan said he was having troubles 
intermittantly.....Hmmm, I wonder if he applied this update.

  Ah, I see! Sorry about that Gail, really. I hope you do ok, (as I'm sure 
you will).

    Best,

It'll be fine. I'm usually a couple days behind on updates anyway. I'll
install it once I have some confirmation on what it's actually doing.

 Yeah, kind of sounds like it Jim if he's using ZA too. But, it shouldn't be 
intermittant, he just won't get online. I mean, he'll be able to 'connect' 
to his ISP, (my experience), but he won't render one single web page or 
download any emails. Very frustrating, and it was like: "I trust winupdate", 
and hence me looking for other solutions. Lesson learnt.  ;)

I've asked him if that's a possibility, so we'll see.  Thanks for 
pointing this one out, though - I never would have found it otherwise.

   No probs, but it is a big problem out there for the moment. (I.e., if you 
have only access to one computer and internet, how do you find the 
solution?) Basically, I was lucky and just started to back-track to what 
happened when I had the net loaded up and working. (All the stuff in between 
was a nightmare though!)  oO

Yeah, here too.  I checked a couple of known possibilities then went 
straight for the support line.  But catch22 there.  Need to be online to 
get the support line phone#.  Solution: use the neighbours' wireless 
network to find out the #.  Waited 10 minutes for a live voice, accent 
was tolerable. First thing out of his mouth? "Are you using Zone Alarm?"
Problem 'solved'.

Not using ZA, AVG is always up to date, but.. Last few days, I have had 
my ISP simply disconnects, then my modem goes into "seeking", 
*eventually* get a link, then spends a bit of time syncing with there 
server. Then, it usually goes down several more times, rinse, repeat, 
until it stays up...

Probably not related to the patch, but its an odd coincidence that it 
started happening about when the patch probably hit the corporate world, 
and its damned irritating, but not *quite* as irritating as spending 5+ 
minutes waiting for some tech to get on the phone, then having the 
connecting go live again... :(
