I have a Sony Vaio running Windows 7. It more or less works (not great I have to say) but recently it's been driving me crazy by refusing to connect to the internet on wifi.
The computer connects to a (working) wifi network but no internet is flowing through to the computer.
Anyway, I have 'fixed' the problem several times by restoring the vaio to an earlier point in time before one of Window's "critical updates" and it seem to help, I can connect and see the internet for a few minutes .... just about until the 'automatic update' finishes reinstalling the damn update and the problem reoccurs!!!!
Has anyone else had this problem?
I'm not a techy and I use a mac most of the time so I'm struggling with this one.
Any ideas?
Can I turn off the automatic updating? I looked for this but cannot figure out how to do it.
Is there something else going on you up-to-date windows folks know about?!
THanks.
