7/17 "Security Patches" disabled my network access

[John Fitzmaurice]

This morning, Windows (XP Tablet) update notified me that
there were 2 security patches that I needed to download.
After I said OK, I was unable to connect to my corporate
network. (Windows server 2000)

Obviously, it was working before the update or else I
wouldn't have been notified that it was available.

Curiously, it never said that the download was complete -
Do you want to install.

I have a fujitsu stylistic 4100

Please help!

Some possible fixes:

1. Go to Control Panel | Add or Remove Programs and un-install the
updates.

2. Use System Restore to go back in time to before you installed the
updates.
