Service Pack 3 installation

[Steve2603]

I just installed service pack 3 on my XP pro setup. after several attempts I
finally managed to get the update succesfully installed.

However now that it's running (applications seem to work fine) I notice that
my network icons (cable and wireless) have dissapeared and when I try to look
at devices in device manager the page is blank... no devices showing at all..

Hardware is a Sony Vaio PCG-Z1RSP laptop.

ideas anyone?

Thanks...
