Recently, Microsoft released a 16 update package. I got it through automatic updates. Those updates gave me a blue screen that read "SESSION5_INITIALIZATION_FAILED". After serfing the web a bit, I realized there's absolutely nothing to do but to format. After formating, I got the same updates and it just slowed my T1 connection to bytes per seconds (this is when I actually realized that the updates were the problems). After deleting them along with the whole SP2, I got my connection back. Does anyone else have the same problems? and does anyone know which update is actually causing the problems? or is it different for everyone because of conflicts with various things?

you might have better luck in the Operating Systems forum. there's a bunch of geniuses over there that don't venture in this forum.

Truthfully I've never encountered that yet but perhaps it's another program installed that is causing the conflict or perhaps maybe a hardware issue.

The updates didn't cause me any problems. As a result, I'm inclined to agree with Nocturnal.
