Uh oh! Windows "Critical" Updates

[Adrianas]

Last night when I shut down my less-than-6 months old computer, Windows installed 18 "critical" updates.  Yeah, I'll say they were 'critical' - now when I boot up the machine I get an error "Windows sockets initialization failed."

I have brought the machine to work today (a Dell 15R laptop) and will spend some 'quality' time on the phone with Dell, I am sure.  But at least I can download drivers and stuff here at work and transfer them over to the laptop.

Ugh, good luck with that.
