Re: The update is a downgrade!

Mr. Goose1978
You may want to try and use the windows restore process. To restore
before the point of the updates.

This should work with not problem.

We traced a 100% correlation to the presence of verclsid.exe running
as a process. At times, there were more than one running. Removing
the process fixed the problem, but only until the next time that one
of those operations was attempted, at which point verclsid was
replanted in memory.

My fix was to simply delete the file from her SYSTEM32 folder -- a
solution that I am not altogether comfortable with, despite her
repeated claims of my being a miracle worker.

I'd like to see some discussion about this. What is the intended
purpose of this process and I wonder why the behavior my client's
Vaio desktop was so counter to that intention. And I wonder if there
is an implication to my quick fix...
