Hi all,

I don't know a hell of a lot about operating systems, drivers, etc., but I do know this:

I went to Microsoft to download various "critical" updates to Windows XP. When I restarted, my computer (a laptop) was unable to recognize my home network. I tried it in some public networks and, though it recognized them, it didn't connect. I was on the phone with Dell for about 2 hours trying to fix the damn thing, and finally got it working at one point, only to have it disappear 5 minutes after I hung up the phone

I believe this means the updates somehow messed with my drivers.

I ultimately did a system restore to before I did the updates, and all is well again.

My question is this: I want to have the various security patches for Windows XP, but how do I fix my drivers after that?
