Okay, so this is the story. 1. Went to Windows update 'cause I read somewhere that Microsoft released some new bug fixes. Download them, when it comes to install, error for all. 2. Go on IRC to #winxp on EFnet, ask what to do, they tell me to uninstall the last update. Go to Add-Remove, do so, restart the computer. Error, mslogon.dll or something similar not found. I don't have a password for the comp or anything, but still, major dll problem. Crap. Re-install Windows. 3. Go to Windows Update again, go up to SP2 update-wise. Download SP2, install, no problems, until I try to get back online (SP2 installs the firewall with it). Net not working, I have cable. WTF. Disable the stupid Microcrap firewall, still nada. I enable it back, enable all possible proggies with it, then disable it, still nothing. Basically IE and Firefox come out blank. Not even about:blank, no url. Disable the connection, turn off the firewall, enable the connection, still nothing. It worked with SP2 just fine before, but the question is what I'm going to do now, since I NEED SP2 plus the other critical updates. If I install SP2 again, it's going to be the same. I can't download 80mb on dialup. I could dl SP2 on cable somehow independently, then install it with dialup on, try to figure out the connection that way, and hope it works no cable. Ideas? Will give sexual favors and/or free models to whoever figures this out. Kthx. Drac
