Hi Guys,
2 days back My Pc started freezing and wasn't allowing me to open the
internet explorer, when I went to system restore, I found something called
installed Windows XP wdf01005.
I used the system restore and every thing was fine, last night the same
problem happened again, but this time I found Software Distribution Service
3.0.
I think its interfering with my Nivada display card, because the whole pc
fonts have been changed, the brightness has been changed, and I can't even
stay on pc more than 15 minutes now, although I have changed my monitor
I tried system restore many time, but unfortunately every time it says
incomplete
Can any one help me with this? It's driving me crazy; I can't work on my pc
any more because of this :(
Please advice guys |

Hello Jazz,
Have you tried doing a System Restore in Safe Mode (F to a point in time
before you started experiencing this problem.
Check back later, though. I,m sure more knowledgable people will be along
soon.
I hope this post is helpful.
Good luck

Hi,
New at this and may have posted twice. Sorry if I have.
I am also having problems after installing the above update.
I see it has been said," That’s not something coming from windows update.
There is nothing called that in the update catalogue." From Eddie Bowers
Security Support Microsoft Corporation.
However, I've rung Microsoft New Zealand and they confirm that it is a
Microsoft update and it has issues with Zone Alarm. They say that, they and
Zone Alarm are working towards a fix.
I have restored my system, not in safe mode, to just before the above update
took place and immobilised Windows automatic up date until this problem is
fixed.
Hope this helps.

When my computer updates with Software Distribtion Service 3.0 I am no longer
able to connect to the internet. The internet says it is connected but pages
will not load. I don't know what to do to fix this problem. I have to system
restore to be able to connect to the internet again, and then everything
works fine until it downloads the Software Distribution Service 3.0 and
things do not work again. Can anyone help me?

Hi Bob,
I don't seem to have the up date you show, however, I do have the one that
seems to be giving the same problem you are experiencing. I rang Microsoft
and they say it is a problem between the up date and Zone Alarm. If you go
onto the Zona Alarm site, they suggest a couple of fixes. Their new up date
fixed my problem. I didn't do options one or two.
Workaround to Sudden Loss of Internet Access Problem
Date Published : 8 July 2008

zonealarm says the MS Windows Software tool (KB890830) is trying to launch.
When it dose and re-boots I have no access to the internet. I have to go back
to systen restore to deleat it. Then after reboot I have access to the
internet. If this is not from MS then somebody went to a lot of time to make
it work like it was. Guess the only thing to do now is to shut off auto
update for ever now.

Hope this helps,
Murray.

There's nothing for them to fix. The bug was in Zone Alarm, not in the update,
and Zone Alarm have now fixed it.

Install the updates one-by-one to see which (if any) is interfering with Outlook.

If you have Office and/or Outlook installed, every Office/Outlook update you
receive from Windows Update (or Microsoft Update or Office Update) will
reset Outlook as the default email client. If you normally use Outlook
Express, you'll need to go into 'Internet Options|Programs' and reset OE as
your default. You will have to do this again every time there is an update
to Office/Outlook applied to your PC.

This is the exact same issues we incurred. Save yourself time and grief. Need
to UNISTALL Service Pack 3 TOTALLY---DO NOT REINSTALL IT DO NOT ---- Go Back
to Service Pack 2 and stick with this one. Then you need to UNISTALL Windows
and Reinstall. This is the one and only way you will be able to clean up the
computer and have full use of it again. Believe US we found out about ALL of
this the Hard Way, with Four Verification to do this.
Hope I we were able to help you
