I have used Microsoft Update - no change.

 

I always use Custom.  I have installed updated drivers from driver
section, and looked through and read all available updates in Optional -
nothing on wireless and no IE7.

Instead of selecting only the critical updates, have you tried using the
custom option (instead of express) and seeing what else is available to
install?  And have you updated to Microsoft Update instead of just
Windows Update?

Windows Gurus:

 

I've got the strangest problem.  I'm trying to install Windows XP Pro
(MSU's Select) onto a Thinkpad/Lenovo T23 (P3 notebook from a few years
back).  It installs fine.  Immediately after install, I visit Windows
Update and do all criticals, and repeat the visit three times till it
tells me there are no more criticals remaining.

 

But there are.  I've got IE6 still, no IE7, and I've got no support for
WPA.  When I try to connect via wireless, I can connect to MSU because
it is just WEP, but on any AP with WPA2, I am unable to connect.  A
quick look at the wireless options shows this computer doesn't know
about WPA.  Nothing appears out of the ordinary:  all hardware has
recognized drivers; there are no relevant errors in the logs; I get no
errors from the system or from Microsoft Update.  I've formatted and
reinstalled twice, each with different copies of our XP Select CD from
MSU.  About-Help confirms it has SP2 (which is already part of our
installation CD).

 

Any ideas?   Coming up with search terms for this problem is proving
difficult. There is one M$ KB article (907380) that describes the
problem, but it is irrelevant as it blames an Office install and I've
installed nothing but XP and updates.

 

Thanks
