re: WinSock & Firewall problems upon auto-update Monday, April 24, 2006 at 11:41 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by AJones (64 messages posted) Thanks for your replies: It looks like a Registry corruption, Many of my Registry cleaners, Anit-Malware would not start. I tried what you have mentioned, Yesterday, I had installed two service pack updates, K87651, K89763, something of that sort in C:/Windows/hfg_img/ directory, First that directory did not have updatesys.dll, so I had to get that installed when I try uninstalling I get some messages stating that Network Services, Mesgs, Media Player may not work, and in the end, it did not uninstall. these files. Does any one know where these files are located so I can reinstall them as I think it may not been installed properly. I followed Searching in ths Forum, I tried netsh int ip reset c:\resetlog.txt, and I get error initialing some dll, and it just exits. I also tried sfc /SCANNOW and it seems to be clean without any new thing happeing. Can I get this network Servies working without reinstalling WinXP all over again which I would hate do. I guess it takes too much time starting the LAN OR ethernet as Welcome screen goes blank and I get the desktop after a lot of time, It used to happen to me in Linux when the system was trying to connect to the network at Boot. I am clueless has to how I will solev this. Should I just upgrade to MS VISTA? IS it worth it? I am starving here both for suggestions and literally as I been seated in front of this computer for so long.
