Re: Updates and System Restore

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

No, I distinctly remember choosing a restore point before those updates
because I could see them in the calendar that System Restore has. I went
back to July 12 and I had got those updates on July 13 and 14 and shortly
after getting the last one I did the system restore. In the Add&Remove
programs list the last update I have is from June 3 , but I also have a bunch
of updates that have no date listed next to them.
If there's a way to find out was new fixes were issued in the months of June
and July I could check them.
