RE: system failure after automatic update on 8/15/07

The 08-14-07 Auto updates apparently changed some settings in my Newwork and

sharing center and I could not login until I ran diagnostic and asked for an

IP address and then it immediately connected but keeps trying to find a

public connection. The little circle in Vista keeps spinning but lets me

connect until I restart the computer and then there is an X by the network.

I am set to Private connection but it wants to make a public connecton. I

have to run diagnostics each time I start the computer. So, I went to

restore and restored to back to before the 08-14 updates. Had to use safe

mode to get it to work and the problem is gone, but so are the 10 updates of

08-14. Would be nice if the updates did not cause these problems and makes

me not want to install any updates if they cause all of these problems that I

see in the discussion groups. Does anyone at Microsoft have a clue as to

what update is messing with Networking and Sharing?
