New computer build- as listed in my signature. I have installed already and
seemed to have no problems. Didnt install any drivers and the install went
without a problem. Recognizes my drive with correct amouont of formatted
space. And my computer works fine when I use it....until I try to update all
of the critical patches from the Windows update page. There are 33 it says I
need. I can install 29 of them without a problem. One of the final four
causes my computer to hang at the desktop when I boot after updating. The
pop-up saying "windows explorer has encouontered a problem and has to close.
Whether I send a report or not, windows closes, and I am left with my desktop
picture and nothing else. I have tried booting in safe mode but I get the
same error pop-up. The only way around it at that point is to do repair
install of the OS, as I cant even get to system restore to set the system
back to before the updates.
I have updated all drivers and the BIOS for my Mobo, and I ahve searched
for SATA drivers on the Albatron website and the Intel website with no luck.
Does anyone know what is going on here or am i stuck using the computer
and never turning on the windows update feature?
Any help is appreciated.

Which update exactly causes the issue?
When you get the "Internet Explorer has encountered a problem...."
error, you need to click on the link to see the details -
What is the AppName?
What is the AppVer?
What is the ModName?
What is the ModVer?
