On issue 1, the laptop, it actually said "A different program is controlling
the wireless adapter."


I think it would be useful to find out precisely what the "it" is.
E.g. that's the type of message a third-party firewall might produce
which was trying to prevent you from using a "Trojan" you might have
downloaded and started to run. In that case, you would have to do
whatever you need to to stop the firewall from doing that.
Or, if you didn't know how, you could uninstall the firewall product
and use the Microsoft firewall instead.

BTW if you want to find out what an update does there is a plethora
of information available using the links in the KB article involved.

http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=958644

Note that a KB article about an update now breaks out file version info
but the TechNet Bulletin still includes all the technical details
it has provided in the past.

On issue II, my main machine running win xp64 SPII, the KB958644 patch was
the only update it was doing. The machine was fully updated to that point
and running great. Each time I restored the machine to yesterday's restore
point, it gets on line fine. It will not get on line once the patch is
installed. I run a cable modem with a Linksys WRT54GS wireless router, but I
run this main machine hard cabled to the WRT54GS.

Thanks for any help.

Is anyone else having trouble with XP's latest critical service patch,
KB958644 ?

Issue 1.

On my wireless laptop last night, a Dell 1505 running XP media SP3, as soon
as I downloaded the patch and rebooted, my intel wireless pro icon went
clear, from a normal operating green, and when I put my cursor over it, it
said that a different program was controlling the intel wireless pro adapter.
I have never seen that before or since, and I use that laptop every night.
If I hadn't just downloaded the patch, I would have been more concerned. It
got on-line fine, and the next time I booted, the normal green intel wireless
icon appeared, without the wierd explanation. That laptop seems to be
running ok today.


Issue II.

This morning when I got on my main machine, a 4 monitor trading machine
running win xp64, SP II, fully patched, I got on line fine like I do every
day. Then the patch KB958644 downloaded from automatic updates and I choose
to install it, rebooted and I could not get on-line. I repaired the
connection from control panel/networking, and I got on once, albeit a slow
broken up connection that lasted a minute or so, then no connection at all.

I run an ATI 4 monitor MV2400 graphic card, 8 gig DDR800 Ram, Dual Core
Intel 930 3 gig processor, and run AVAST antivirus, and spybot. This machine
has been rock solid and is maybe a year old, give or take several months.

I rebooted a second time, and could not get on again, including the windows
update site. I tried rebooting several times and never got on again. Each
time I would go into the control panel/networking and repair my connection.
It seemed like it was successful repairing, but I never got online again, not
even the microsoft update site.

I did a complete system restore from yesterday, rebooted, and my machine was
flying once again. I reinstalled the patch, rebooted, and never got on line
once. I repeated this several times.

Is anyone else having these problems? I had some xp issues with service pack
III on one of my 5 machines, but nothing like this from a critical update,
ever.

Does anyone know what this update is supposed to address? I am guessing it
messes with the internet connection somehow, but I am not current on this
update.

Thanks for any help.
