Since installing SP3 or rather SP3 installing itself my laptop won't connect

to my wirless network and won't show any networks either. It tells me window

can't configure the network.

There is a known issue with certain vendor Network cards after

installing SP3. It's best to update or re-install the current driver

for the Wireless. Check the vendor's website for your particular

model drivers.

See if perhaps there are some updated network card drivers for the NIC

and WiFi adapter. Also, check and see if > Control Panel > Admin.

it has been started.

You might choose to learn from the experience and DISABLE automatic changes

to your operating system and to your critical programs.

The alternative way is to find out what is being offered and then YOU choose

what to accept.
