Internet does not work in normal mode after Windows 7 updates
Hi,
I am trying to solve this problem for quite some time. I went through some of the existing threads but did not get answer, so posting new thread. I have a sony laptop which has Windows 7 on it. Because of some problem, I reinstalled windows 7 on it using its recovery option. But after I did that, it started hanging in normal mode upon connecting it to a network. It was working in safe mode. After searching for some time online, I found that Windows Live essential was causing the problem. So, I uninstalled the problem. It solved the freeze problem and it started working. But since I had restored it from earlier point, there were some windows updates that were missing. So, I started auto install of windows updates. Once those updates were installed, internet stopped working. It still works in safe mode. Diagnostics say that it can not find the error and shows laptop as connected to the network. I installed network driver from Sony website thinking there could be a problem there. That did not help. After that, I did selective startup as suggested in some threads thinking some third party software were causing the problem. That also did not help. Right now, the situation is that internet is not working in normal mode but it works in safe mode. Can someone suggest some solution to this problem?
