Re: KB925486 update. Don't use!!!

Which antivirus program is installed ?

Had to download some programs again that i had just installed over net, as all settings were lost in the restore.

They aren't on disk or backed up somewhere?
This update replaces one file, vgx.dll.
Suggest there's something amiss with your system, possibly the AV is interfering with the updates installation.
There's *nothing* buggy about this CRITICAL update.

to get my comp back online, and I lost some important data in the prosses.
This happened 3 times before I worked out that it was due to this update,
i've lost a lot of data and even some of my music files due to this.
Do yourself a favor people, for your own-sakes. Don't try to download the
KB925486 update, it's not worth the problems.
I hope microsoft fix this, or they'll have a lot of angery people to deal
with.
