After reboot i had errors, Norton email protection could not start, Wallwatcher error something already using port 162 not logging nought, nothing showing up in network adapters in task manager, just blank.

Installed all updates with no problems, went pretty quick. Running Zone Alarm
and AVG 7 free edition.

Installed all updates this morning. Everything's smooth sailing. :)
 
Fully up to date on SP2 critical updates and no problems at all.

Make sure none of the updates turned on Windows Firewall without your permission. That would cause some network problems. Sounds like the download or install jsut got corrupted.

EDIT:
Bugginess in windows antispyware application. When cleaning out the leavings of spyware it does not replace the bad stuff it deleted with the good stuff. The article says this is in the antispyware beta only but we all know M$...

Knowledge base has instructions for manual repair.

892350

You can reach it by searching on spyware in the help option under Start. Has instructions for SP1 and SP2.
 
Hi
Attempted to install kb 867282 IE update for the third time with the same failures after reboot, I run blackice for outbound protection and it alerts me after reboot that userinit.exe-shlwapi.dll have changed also explorer.exe-wininet.dll has changed and i allow them to run but to get the same errors as i said in first post,

Userinit.exe

(Microsoft) USERINIT is the program which Winlogon runs immediately after a user successfully logs onto a Windows NT4/2000/XP/2003 PC. USERINIT runs logon scripts, re-establishes network connections, and then starts Explorer.exe, the Windows user interface (the START button, etc..).

My computer didn't even start after I downloaded and installed the critical updates! Finally got it back with system restore, but now don't know what to do about updates.
 
i did get one problem when i tried to runn a lil app, it said Entry point not found, "The Procedure [any] could not be located in the dll mfc71.dll, this app use to work before, and after i did the updates, it stopped working on both my computers

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
