Re: PC freezes after upgrades

After the last upgrades were installed, my computer now freezes up after

screen is up but no curser or keyboard control. I have to manually turn it
off and on. Service Pack KB948465 seems to be the problem. Could this be?


1) By "upgrades" are you referring to the last round of updates that came out Tuesday, the updates that came out February 9th, or did this issue occur after applying KB948465 (SP2) ?
2) Was SP2 (KB948465) applied with the installed antivirus/security suite actively monitoring the system ?
3) Was SP2 applied via Windows Update or did you download the full standalone SP2, save it, and then apply it manually ?
