windows update corrupts my kernel


Reposting it because the microsoft news group people don't want me to
post a similar problem in another thread.



I went to sleep on the 15th and woke up
with windows telling me that it updated and had to restart. I shut
down the computer becuase I had somewhere to go. Insted of shutting
down, it rebooted itself and told me that the kernel was corrupted. I
just shut down my computer with the power button because I had to go.
Came back home and tried to fix it with the vista recovery from the
dvd and it replaced the kernel file but then told me that the system
registry file was corrupted. I attempted to copy the backup in the
config folder but it didn't work. Used the vista disk to restore from
the backup point and chose the point where the windows update
installed. Restarted and it still had a corrupt registry. Tried again
with the only other point that was available which was the day prior
at 9pm and i'm back up and running again. I'm going to stop the
windows update from finishing and backup my hard drive. these are the
updates listed right now:

KB963027
KB952004
KB956572
KB959426
KB960803
KB890830
KB905866
KB960003
KB959997

I think one of the updates corrupted my files. My hard drive is pretty

new, just got it less than 2 months ago.

I have Windows Vista SP1 running on my Dell Inspiron 6000.
[update since my post in someone else's post]
I installed the first update and restarted and it went fine so I went
about my business and later when I went to shut down windows it told
forced me to install the updates. The update corrupted my kernel again
and now I can't restore because the restore app keeps crashing saying
the memory could not be read. I've tested my memory and hard drive and
they both pass withot problems. How can I get my computer restored now
that the restore program crashes from the vista dvd?
