"dotski" wroSome details I forgot to add:

The problem only occurs after a Restart has been done after the Windows
Update.

Prior to the restart (but post-update), everything still works fine -
including Windows Live Messenger, able to chat with friends.

Once restart, the problem occurs. Please note that there is no problem
whatsoever with my internet connection, browsing on IE 7 has no problems at
all.

Programs loaded at startup includes Trend Micro PC Cilin Internet Security
2006, Windows Defender.

Using Windows XP Professional SP2 (all updates fully applied). Runs Intel
Centrino with 512 MB RAM.

Many thanks.



I have problems with using Windows Live Messenger.

When I start Windows Live Messenger, instead of showing my normal display
picture with my e-mail address there (so I can just type my password and
login), I see a 'generic' display picture with no e-mail address. Windows
Live Messenger lags tremendously. When I type my e-mail and password
(subject to huge lagging), Live Messenger will just display an error
message "Service temporarily unavailable. Please try again later."

Looked into Connections in the Options, there is an error between the
modem
and the internet. Repaired it, the error is gone, but still unable to
connect, with same message.

Upon system restore to a state prior to Windows Update, everything fine.

Once update reapplied, everything reappears, with exact reproducibility.
System Restore returns to state where everything is fine.

Any ideas of what is happening? If it's a real error, can anyone bring
this
up with Microsoft?

Sounds daft but where can i run an update and where do I check the windows
update - where it says no longer registered or installed?? Thanks

I am having the same problem, and I have not found a solution either. It is
from the recent updates and it seems to to a common problem with no solutions
as of yet. Most people with this problem, myself included, also can no longer
use microsoft/windows update. So try running update again, and if it states
that the files required for windows update are no longer registered or
installed, and keeps looping back to the same error, then ur in the same boat
as me and a lot of others. If this is the case then go to the windows update
section and make a reply with the other posts, cause the more posts, the more
likely a solution will be found.
