Re: System restarts during bootup after kb890859 update

Hi MrDarin,

Thank you for posting the fix that you found, as I'm sure it will help many
who encounter the restart loop after installing an update :-)

As to the problem you have/had with the TCP/IP stack (no network access),
have you resolved that problem? If not, perhaps the information in this MSKB
article will help you resolve the problem:

"After you run Microsoft Windows AntiSpyware (Beta), you have
network-related problems, or you receive an error message"
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/892350

another option would be to d/load and run winsockxpfix:
