quapaw you probably need to allow your firewall to access AH again.

New patch means your firewall may treat it as a new installation, and is not allowing you in.

if your using Zone alarm you have 2 choices either uninstall it or enable it and grant AH permision.

Just disabling ZA is the worst thing you can do because from past experience it basically locks you down instead of truely disabling.
