lost everything. and have to rebuild. dell did the diagnostic testing and the
hardware is fine. how do I avoid getting this shitty update again? I can't
afford to be out of work for two days again and rebuilding my machine.. help!

Looking at the event log, it seems that KB943899 was the last update
installed. On restart the "service control manager" had mulitple failures.
Using the OS disk I restored to last operational version and it seems fine
for now. Thanks.

Hi, my Dell XPS M1330 has downloaded & installed auto updates for Vista
premium home edition and on restarting it loads with a blue screen only
visible for milliseconds and then reboots. What do I do? There is obviously
a compatibility issue with one of the patches and hardware. How do I
identify which and roll back the update and also ensure it does not download
& install it again?

Just a guess... KB943899?
Roll back with 'repair a computer' using installation cd. Unfortunatelly,
it'll almost for sure remove more updates than needed.
