This really isnt good news is it? i have had numerous
problems since using the lastest update programme that
microsoft is using......... ive had the reboot 20 times
problem and the wont boot at all problem, both before i
installed service pack 2... ive had to pay for the
priveledge of my whole pc being wiped and starting again
with a fresh install... after doing the all night hassle
of the updates it wouldnt boot again!!! what a nightmare
and hey, i kinda know what im doing to a degree..there is
definately some problems with this software and in
reality if it was a programme we were downloading at
download.com or something and reading the reviews, we
wouldnt touch this with a barge pole! have your own
security and do not use windows update if you have no
problems without it!
