Problem Comes Up After Updating

[Guest RN1]

I am working on WinXP Pro (SP2). Day before yesterday, I updated my

computer by navigating to Tools--->Windows Update in IE6. The updation

was successful but strangely after that the software I use for

connecting to the Net no longer opens up.

 

When the software opens it shows a screen saying "Launching..." after

which I am supposed to enter my username & password but now, the

"Launching..." screen comes up for around 2 seconds after which it

disappears i.e. the next screen to enter username & password does not

show up.

 

I decided to uninstall the updates which were installed day before

yesterday from the Control Panel (Add/Remove Programs) but the updates

that were installed day before yesterday aren't listed in the Add/

Remove Programs applet.

 

Can someone please suggest me a workaround to this problem?

 

The software vendor couldn't resolve the problem.

I had installed Visual Studio.NET day before yesterday as well & just

now realized that it was the culprit. I uninstalled VS.NET & the

software is running now.

 

BTW the mysterious software is called Sify (an ISP well known in

India) to connect to the Internet.

 

Thanks,

Re: Problem Comes Up After Updating

 

Can you connect to your ISP without any software? What type of connection is

it?

 

A rule that I have is to not use any special software to connect out, they

just add another unnecessary layer to connect through.
