Unable to browse internet after live update NIS2009

I installed NIS2009 on my XP system.  After install, NIS consule came up, I was able to browse the internet on both IE and FF.  Ran live update, rebooted system....Now unable to browse internet via IE or FF.  

 

Attempted to open up the NIS consule...Nothing happened...  Attempted to run live update... Nothing happened....

Tried to uninstall NIS 2009 system prompted that another setup program is still running and it would have to finish.

 

Had to go into safemode to uninstall NIS..  After reboot, I was able to browse with both IE and FF.

 

Didn't see anything in the message boards on this topic.    Any suggesstions?
