Problem connecting to internet after Vista Windows update


Recommended Posts

Posted

I just had 8 updates to my windows Vista Today...not I can not connecto the

internet via AOL, nor Windows Internet Explorer. Does anyone have any idea

what is creating this problem??? Better yet, how do I get reconnected to the

Internet. (I was online earlier today before the updates loaded.) (I use

Time warner Cable modem).

Try this troubleshooter

 

<title>How to troubleshoot network connectivity problems in Internet Explorer</title>

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/936211

 

Also since that article was written a special case which is often overlooked

has recently been added. Note that iexplore.exe can be regarded as being

just the most common example of a more general problem the article implies.

BTW since your problem symptoms are occurring for more than one app

and since I do not use your OS I am cross-posting this to a newsgroup

which specializes in Networking for your OS.

Hi Robert,

 

Can I refer people to my post 'Updating Windows Vista' in the newsgroup

'Windows Update' (dated 10/10/2007). This post gives references to other

posts of mine which give instructions on solving their problems. Obviously,

this method will only work for systems running Vista.

Error message after you install a Windows Internet Explorer 7 update from

Windows Update or from Microsoft Update: "Webpage cannot be displayed":

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/942818

 

Try the following:

 

1. Disable your anti-virus application, any real-time protection provided by

an anti-spyware application (except for Windows Defender includes Spybot

Tea Timer, SpySweeper Guards, AVG AS guard.exe, etc.), disable any

third-party firewall AND enable the Windows Firewall.

 

NB: If you're running ZA Free firewall, you may need to uninstall it instead

of disabling it. You're "working without a net" now: Don't to ANYTHING else

online (e.g., browsing reading email chatting) except #4 below until your

anti-virus application has been re-enabled!

 

2. Uninstall "Security Update for Windows Internet Explorer 7 (KB939653)"

[or "Security Update for Windows XP (KB939653)"] via Add/Remove Programs

(make sure Show Updates box is checked at top right) and reboot.

 

3. Re-do #1 above.

 

4. Go to http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com and install any Critical Updates

offered. If "Root Certificates" update is listed in the Optional Updates

category, you might install it, too, to take full advantage of IE7's

additional security.

 

5. Reboot > Make sure everything in #1 above is enabled again and, if

applicable, disable the Windows Firewall and enable your third-party

firewall.

Uninstall "Security Update for Windows Internet Explorer 7 (KB939653)"

worked. There seems to be a conflict with Norton Anti-virus and this

critical update. I installed McAfee after the problem and have no further

problems. Each time I updated or installed KB939653 and NAV IE7.0 will not

work.
