    Ok I had a hard drive die on me, I installed a fresh copy of windows with sp1 off the disk, I had no problems, I went to update to SP2 and my internet doesn't work. In Firefox I just get a blank page and in IE it say That it can't display the page, if I roll back to pre patch it works without fail, any ideas? The only reason I need sp2 is because my video driver require framework 2 which I need sp2 to run any help or idea would be great :confused: :confused:

    you are missing the drivers for the motherboard if you are dealing with an integrated network card
    Most likely the computer is not running that well as well
    Install the drivers for the motherboard
    If you need to get online get an older PCI network card and plug it into a slot
    It should install and let you on the internet

    Thanks for the help the card is built into the mother board as far as the computer it's running fine, with sp2 installed i have no other problems other than the net, I can see the network in the control panel and it's sending receiving date but I cannot access the internet, I have tried turning on and off the Windows Defender Firewall with no luck

    Broadband connection?
    Power off the modem, shutdown comp. Power on modem, wait till it synches, power on comp.
