Thanks for your quick help Richard.
The problem is that I have done that twice but doesn't seem to solve the
problem because when I install the updates it crashes again..
Going mad. I will be able to return the Operative System to the supplier,
but it feels rather frustating. On other machine I have I run Pinnacle
ShowCenter and never had a problem. I was looking forward to get the nex X360
but now I dont know anymore.
