Network connections disappeared after SP2

[bobby100]

After I have installed SP2, I can see my network connections in Control Panel. This also afects Windows built-in Firewall settings. I had one LAN and 2 VMWare connections there. Now if I go to Control Panel> Network connections, first it needs a lot of times to appear, and I cant see any connection there. My LAN connection works fine because it was set before installing SP2, but I can disable built-in firewall because it reports that no network connection can be found.

Anybody knows anything about this ?

Has the same problems.

Also found out that

1. LDM (Local Disk manager) service is not working

2. When going to Service-->Dependencies got message "Class not registered"

3. Programs that are using Windows Installer can't be installed

...

It seems that RPC service is not normally working on my computer.

I can see it running - but none of services depending on RPC are working.

Have a look onn Services and try to set RPC sercie to Automatic.

Maybe this will help..
