Problem Comes Up After Updating

[RN1]

I am working on WinXP Pro (SP2). Day before yesterday, I updated my
computer by navigating to Tools--->Windows Update in IE6. The updation
was successful but strangely after that the software I use for
connecting to the Net no longer opens up.

When the software opens it shows a screen saying "Launching..." after
which I am supposed to enter my username & password but now, the
"Launching..." screen comes up for around 2 seconds after which it
disappears i.e. the next screen to enter username & password does not
show up.

I decided to uninstall the updates which were installed day before
yesterday from the Control Panel (Add/Remove Programs) but the updates
that were installed day before yesterday aren't listed in the Add/
Remove Programs applet.

Can someone please suggest me a workaround to this problem?

The software vendor couldn't resolve the problem.

I had installed Visual Studio.NET day before yesterday as well & just
now realized that it was the culprit. I uninstalled VS.NET & the
software is running now.

BTW the mysterious software is called Sify (an ISP well known in
India) to connect to the Internet.

Thanks,

Can you connect to your ISP without any software? What type of connection is
it?

A rule that I have is to not use any special software to connect out, they
just add another unnecessary layer to connect through.
