NO free SUPPORT on Server update fiascos???

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



WHAT?

I just got off the phone with Windows Support - they want to charge me to
get support on my Windows2003 server - which, after installing one of their
windows updates I am dead in the water. They want to charge me to fix what
their update broke???

How confident I am to install any more updates.....

maybe my colleagues are right.... Linux???

Charge me??? If I charged my customers for things I broke I wouldn't have
customers.

Is this really the option?????

----
I installed the updates using windows update
Rebooted
Now am able to log in to any server account
but only see a blank screen - no desktop.
As the login is processed, hour glass showing, there is a very small box
(1/32" square) that appears and then disappears - never seen this before.
Then i'm left with a blank screen.

SAME exact thing when I try to log into safe mode.

Help???
