Keith can you not dowload (and save as a file as opposed to running it) to your computer, put it on a stick and then she can install it on her computer and run it then? |

Ouch, not good. Can you download the update onto a CD on a different PC and then load it on to hers? |

Wife cannot acces the internet at all, she had downloaded the updates, following advice, she uninstalled update KB951748 and she could access e-mails, but not the net, set ZA security to medium instead of high as suggested, still canot access net. |

I received more auto updates last night and, yes, this morning I couldn't get online. I have switched off Zone Alarm and was immediately able to get back online (after switching my Windows firewall on). |

The exact same thing happened to me! I was pulling my hair out yesterday because BT Desktop Help was suggesting there was a problem with my router and when I tried to check the router, I could not get on the internet for the help text. I changed wires, moved bits, changed them back to no avail. Then I remembed the auto update from Tuesday night and went back to a system restore point taken on Sunday - problem resolved. I too am on BT Internet and have Zone Alarm. |

They didn't ask much from me...just if I was using a laptop or PC. |

Col, zone alarm is a firewall, so if you are uninstalling your zone alarm, make sure you put windows firewall ON. |

Thanks Kitty, is this just for Vista users or for all Microsoft users? I have registered and asked the question anyway in the hope that someone can stop the little hair I have being pulled out! |
