Nov 11 Critical Update Problem!

Today's critical update loaded flawlessly on my office's
PCs. However, both of the office's Internet Connection
Sharing computers locked up after restart and would not
even return to the Welcome Screen. I was able to return
to safe mode with networking support, but System Restore
did not correct the problem, nor did Windows Repair. I
finally had to reinstall XP Pro to get the machine to
boot up again. I have not reinstalled the patch.

I know there is a problem with ICS and the latest patch
because I replicated the problem on two different
machines. When I unplugged the ICS connection from its
network card, the machine would boot up. When I plugged
the ICS connection back in, it would hang before it got
to the Welcome Screen.

Any ideas?

This is a perfect example of why you should turn off auto
update and not install any M/S updates for two weeks
after they are released!!!!!

This is very true but not helping!

Anyway, I have exactly the same problem. And yes, I did installed the
patches. I don't know which one thou, cause I have installed
everything!

I have reinstalled my XP, and the patches again. I still have the
problem if I restart. But if I shutdown, then turn on the system back
up - no problem.

Does Microsoft release the fix for this yet?
