[Thinkpad] (Followup) Restoring from USB Not Working! - was AC Connection was broken

[Matt Winston]

Since I never saw any replies to the questions posted regarding the original 
issue and the trouble you reported,

I went ahead and applied the MS updates that involved TCP/IP.........

with no ill effects.

Of course I had backed up my AC profiles and remembered to shut down the 
program prior to installing Windows Updates, which I advise any time MS 
wishes to trifle with the IP stack.

Upon restart, I opened the AC application and selected the appropriate 
location profile; happily the software performed as it should and all was 
well.

BTW, did anyone else know that the maximum number of profiles allowed was 
64?

I hit it and got a nice message asking me to slow down and take a vacation 
because I was working too hard.
Seriously, there was an application pop-up advising me of the limit and to 
delete one of my existing profiles if I wanted to save the new one.

Another bit of useless knowledge to file away.

Good weekend to all.

Matt
