• Windows Update that affect Internet for Vista Home Premium and Windows 7 connectivity

  Hi, I have two machines in one desktop running Vista Home Premium and a laptop running under windows 7.

  After you apply the Windows updates a few days ago, I was not able to get internet connectivity using my Vista desktop computer.

  I was able to get a wireless on the Windows 7 machine, but to test the router I disabled wireless and tried a wired connection and it did not work.

  If I restore the installation of updates on both machines before the problem no longer exists, but it is clearly not a solution.

  Can someone please help, note that I have established that the router works and all the cables are OK. Thank you.

  I had a very similar experience. See the thread I posted and a solution I found:

  I turned to the forums and I saw that many, many people have the same problem with Vista SP2 Upgrade. Microsoft and several of its Vista customers realized that Vista has a lot of problems, but people who have need of the service. Being able to download and install the SP2 can make Vista more stable, but I get the same message mentioned above, and so I am sure are a lot of other people who are trying to get Service Pack 2 integrated into Vista.

• Service Pack 3 for Vista?

  Re Vista, given the size of the updates since SP2, Microsoft will publish a Service Pack 3 for Vista?

  There are any number of free options or cheap on the internet - I prefer to make my images offline using a dedicated interface (which prevents interference from things such as the VA and allows checking).

  I have no real experience with the exception of my favorite utility aid - which is no longer marketed (although I have a license for the product-girl, I him have not used this yet) - so I wouldn't recommend better not :).

  A little research on Google will help you along well.
