I installed service pack 2 after i had run and updated my avg, spybot s/d and
spyware blaster , i also followed all the advice before installing, anyway, i
got it on sat. it was uninstalled by sunday night, it had froze my pc a dozen
times in that time,
i kept getting windows explorer has encountered and error blah blah, then
everything just died each time it closed everything down ,even switching my
pc off.
i tried system restore as i had created a restore point before installing,
but when i restarted it said it couldnt restore, so i uninstalled service
pack 2 , but still couldnt get connected to aol, i uninstalled that and
reinstalled went through various other things , then after uninstalling the
bt voyager modem and reinstalling i got connected again, but yesterday and
today especially, i have been getting W32 time errors . this is what comes up
in event viewer: Explanation
The Windows Time Service cannot synchronize time with its time sources.
Windows Time Service will attempt synchronization at a later time.

The W32time 29 message is usually caused by connectivity issues between a
client and its source. In some cases, the source computer is unavailable; it
may be restarting, disconnected from the network, or unreachable because of
firewall or router configurations. If the W32time 29 condition persists, you
should immediately troubleshoot the issue to ensure that successful
synchronization can resume.
 
    
User Action
To ensure that the system can connect to the source, do one or more of the
following:

Verify that the local computer is capable of contacting the desired source.
In most cases, a simple connectivity test such as “ping” is adequate.
Confirm that Windows Time Service (or other NTP Time Service) is running and
available on the source system.
If you are using a manually configured peer, such as time.windows.com,
verify that the name is typed correctly and that the system is available.
Confirm that there are no network devices that block traffic on port 123
between the local computer and the time source.

dont know what it means, if any one could explain in english please or
better still if anyone knows what to do to fix problem, thank you

    ... About a week ago I installed Small Business Server 2003 on a server machine and configured all the settings for email and LAN connectivity etc, then when I was trying to configure something I lost connectivity to the LAN, I spent days and days trying to solve the problem with no luck, so as a last resort I reinstalled SBS and started from scratch - I spent hours reconfiguring everything and finally all was working how I would expect. ... I then moved on to the next task on my list of installing Service Packs and updates from the Windows Update web site, the first installation was Service Pack 2 and this appeared to complete correctly, although it was a good few hours work - but when I rebooted the server I found I had lost connectivity to the Internet and LAN. ...
