Last night my computer was working fine and I told it to download the available important update and then shut down.
When I woke up this morning my computer was basically a lump of metal that wasn't even recognizing my keyboard. Thankfully after hard rebooting it it automatically ran the startup repair and was able to restore it back a couple days but I want to know what was in that update that messed up my computer:mad: Grrr!

The three updates that it tried to install where:
Update for Windows Vista for x64-based Systems (KB970653)

Update for Internet Explorer 8 Compatibility View List for Windows Vista for x64-based Systems (KB973874)

Update for Windows Vista for x64-based Systems (KB972036)

I have had KB and mouse probs.

I'd shut off the machine and when I would start it up it would either say it could not see the KB or mouse.

I finally had to change KB and it seems fine now?:confused:

Rule of thumb:
When devices do not work right, unplug then replug it in.

Does this really work with computers?

I didn't accept the changes last night.

Mine didn't have any problems with last nights update. Hubby hasn't turned his on yet... hopefully he didn't have any problems either.

I guess I got lucky!

:) Yup so glad I am not the only one having Windows Vista Update Problems.. Every time I let my computer do those updates my computer crashes & or starts doing funky things.. I have to do all of the cleaning out & restoring to get back to normal.. I am at the point I avoid if all possible any Windows Vista Updates.. Grrrrrr

I didn't run the Window updates until today. No problems so far.

I'm going to back everything up before I go to bed tonight and try it again.. maybe Boomer jumped on the keyboard and keyed in the abort code:D

I ran the Windows updates last night as I shut down. No problems here today!
