What anti-virus application or security suite is installed? What anti-spyware applications (other than Defender)? What third-party firewall (if any)? Were any of these applications running in the background when you installed WinXP SP3?

Thanks to you too but your first suggestion is what I tried initially and
the second did not fix the problem. I still only have my Internet
Connection on the Network page and my wireless and LAN connections are
still missing. But thanks again. I guess I'll have to go through another on
line session with MS.

in Safe Mode. Almost all connecting devices disappeared after normal

Found that most Services (services.msc) were turned off and the Register
was
full of 100s of temp files. I used this forum for info and turned the
services on and erased registry temp files. Everything came back except
for
my network connections. Only Internet connection shows. How do I get my
wireless and LAN connections to reappear?
