yeah i tried that (for the record it is a card in the back of my computer)
same problem persists
again, it's weird because i never see the little yellow "downloading
updates" thing, like, ever, except right after windows starts up, often after
i've restarted because i seem to suddenly no longer be connected to the
internet, for no apparent reason
Try this:
Turn Windows Updates OFF ( for Now) and perform this clean up procedure:
Open windows Explorer and locate this path:
C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution = Delete all Folders in the Right
Pane/Window.
Then Right click (C:\) and select Properties then click on Disk CleanUp.
Download this Tool for winscok fixer or you can repair it manually:
Manual repair;
Open Run type in:
netsh winsock reset click [OK] and Reboot your machine.

ok so i tried all that (though it won't let me delete the DataStore
directory or the ReportingEvents file because it says they're being used),
deleted the directories, did the disk cleanup, and ran the winsock fixer,
problem still persists, everything's working and then suddenly downloads
stop, or outlook is not accessible, or pages won't load, restart,
connection's back, and as soon as windows starts up it starts downloading
updates
any other ideas?
thanks for all the help by the way, sorry this is such a riddle
1... First, try to clean up your caches, Internet files and delete cookies
by doing this:
Click Start >> Control Panel >> Double click Network and Internet
Connections >> Double click Internet Options.
On the IE properties windows you will see these Taps:

Advanced.
Under General Tab clear your History, Internet Files and Cookies.
Then click on Advanced tab and scroll down to under the Browsing Option:
[&] Browsing

Then click on Programs Tab and click Manage Add-Ons and Disable all non
Verified Add-Ons (You should Renable them later one-by-one and see the
culprit and update it or remove it.
2... You need to be sure your system is clean from malwares and Viruses by
scanning for them.

Open a run command and type in:
ipconfig /flushdns click [OK]
ipconfig /renew click [OK]
regsvr32 urlmon.dll click [OK]
netsh winsock reset Click [OK]
Reboot your Computer and try the links.
If still try this command:
sfc /scannow click [OK} and leave it to run.
Do you have any third-party toolbar installed?.
