Sorry Bob, I lost you there… what Services for Distributed Link Tracking Client had been disabled and where ? I don’t have problems with Windows update… See here what problems I’m talking about:

quote from some other thread with this topic:

I have exactly the same problem as Negeltu... and what's even worse, it's not just Network shiled that's affected, but also P2P shield and Instant Messaging... I started those providers prior to rebooting my system... every single time I log back on to Windows, providers are terminated, and only my STANDARD shield, Internet mail and Script Blocking are started and running...

Ah, yes… latest build here: Nov2004 (4.5.495)

Any idea on how to fix this, would be greatly appreciated.

I’ve heard other people are having same problems… not all, but quite large number…

Cheers !
