After running windows updates and installing all the updates, including the
security updates I rebooted my laptop to find I could not connect to the
internet. After many reboots I rolled back my system. After the roll back I
could connect to the internet again. I then run windows updates, but this
time I deselected the security updates. After rebooting I was pleased to see
I could connect to the internet still.

I am not happy that the security updates that where there to protect my
computer protected me a little bit too much by stopping connecting to the
internet.

I had a different problem. I use IE to access aol. I can get to the msg.
bds. ok. But when I try to get to the email I get linked to something called
AOL>MyMobile (or some nonsense like that). I tried to roll back to before
the updates. I got some kind of failure msg. So for now I installed the AOL
s/w. Anyone have any ideas?

Ok, but where do you suggest I post it under? I thought this was an
appropriate group to post it under.

I'd say begin a new thread Vista Security and/or IE General, Larry. In your
post, clearly state your Windows version (e.g., Vista SP1), which updates
were installed, and any error messages in their entirety.

Or you can...

Start a free Windows Update support incident request:
https://support.microsoft.com/oas/default.aspx?gprid=6527

Support for Windows Update:
http://support.microsoft.com/gp/wusupport

For home users, no-charge support is available by calling 1-866-PCSAFETY in
the United States and in Canada or by contacting your local Microsoft
subsidiary. There is no-charge for support calls that are associated with
security updates.

If your problem relates to a Cumulative Security Update for IE (e.g.,
KB947864), call the above number and ask to be transferred to the Consumer
IE7 queue (which is 47830).

For more information about how to contact your local Microsoft subsidiary
for security update support issues, visit the International Support Web
site: http://support.microsoft.com/common/international.aspx

For enterprise customers, support for security updates is available through
your usual support contacts.
