This update also hosed my outlook in a similar fashion. My solution was quite
a bit different, but perhaps it could be of help to others...

My system had come pre-installed with Norton Internet Security Suite, which
I removed shortly after buying the system. Apparently, Norton's uninstaller
doesn't actually uninstall everything. I ran a program available on the web
called EnumProcess that showed several possible firewalls were running (to my
great surprise, since I supposedly had removed them). This is how I knew that
Norton had left stuff lying around, in particular, SYMTDI. From other online
posts, I found a Symantec provided "Norton Removal Tool" which required me to
first uninstall my Symantec Antivirus. After running this tool and rebooting,
the following programs which had stopped working, were fixed: firefox 3.0.1,
gallery remote, pix 2 gallery 2, and outlook (specifically, the connector)!
From what I gather, norton left a firewall running EVEN AFTER REMOVAL that
when these programs were updated, blocked them from accessing the internet.
New programs were also blocked!

If there is even a remote chance that were system ever did or currently does
have norton software on it and you are experience these problems, run the
removal tool and re-install your norton products, if necessary.

Downloading Hotmail/Windows Live Mail in my 2007 Outlook quit working for me
after I installed the "Update for Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 (KB952142)"
on July 18, 2008.

Removing, then re-adding that email account didn't work after numerous
attempts.

Finally, I installed this Beta - it worked for me. It was SO sweet to see
those emails re-appear!

Try downloading and installing the 12.1 beta version of the Connector.
