Vista Update Problem...?

Post by Darth_Z13 »

I installed a new update today for my laptop running Windows Vista Home Premium and when I rebooted it displayed the BSoD for about a millisecond and then rebooted. It asked me to run startup repair which I did and when it finished told me I had to restore to an earlier point in time with Windows Restore. I didn't lose any data but I was wondering if anybody else has experienced this problem.....

No, I haven't gotten the official Vista yet.

I am guessing that there may have been some sort of hardware conflict with the computer and the update?

I'm sure Microsoft will fix that problem pretty quickly.

Well I installed the update again and it didn't do it. I guess it's all fixed.

I had that prob one time installing SP2 on XP with the same solution. It's just one of those flukes that happens with windows I guess. Have you reported it to them yet?

No I didn't. I figured since it worked fine the second time it was just a bug because I unplugged my computer when it was updating xD (I forgot that it was doing it).
