1. I just finished doing a windows semi-reformat. I didn't completely wipe the hard drive i just reinstalled windows, if you know what I mean.
Anyways after the reinstallation, I was back to service pack 2 and had to reinstall service pack 3. After installing sp3 my network connection icons in the control panel all disappeared and I could no longer connect to the internet.
I followed all the steps here How to troubleshoot missing network connections icons in Windows Server 2003 and in Windows XP and still the same problem. The wireless card is read in the device manager no problem and it says there nothing wrong with it and that it's currently working properly, but I still seem to be unable to get the wireless working. I checked all the required services for wifi and internet and everything is there.
I tried uninstall service pack 3 and reverting to sp2. I was able to get my internet back, but as soon as i installed sp3 again, I lost connection. This never happened before in the past, i don't get why its happening now.
Not sure if this is important. but I'm using internet explorer 8.
Problem 2. Explorer.exe crashes on shutdown/restart. It usually crashes twice then the connection tray crashes as well, I am led to believe this could be a malware/virus type problem, is this correct?
Thanks,
blue
