To answer an earlier question. Its a Toshiba 17" Laptop with a Win7 32-bit OEM install.
I went to windows update and the updates had already been automaticaly downloaded and were waiting to be installed. I unchecked KB2272691 and proceded with the install of KB982110 which required a restart. After the restart, I could no longer access the network shares.
I noticed the Gold shield on the start button (from past experience that means when I shut down, it will automatically apply a pending update). I shut down and it applied the KB2272691 update.
How do I know which updates are LDR non-security updates? Looking at the update list there are a ton of updates that have been installed over the past year. Perhaps, it was a similar update shortly after 6/12/2010 that fritzed the normal networking -- that had worked for the previous six months. I'm really too busy to do a clean install, besides, not sure I can get the laptop out of my wifes hands long enough to complete one.
Thanks. Any help is appreciated.
P.S. Have never done a win7 clean install but have done over 50 winXP and/or XP Pro clean installs over the past couple years.
