Windows Update

I installed a Windows update the other day there. Ever since then, my programs have been freezing, and my computer has been running excessively slow. I've fixed registry issues, I've done System Restore, and I've done a virus scan. My last resort was to restore Vista to factory settings.

When I restart my PC and push F8, press "Repair My Computer", the Windows Recovery Environment should run, but instead, I get a menu with the options "Launch Startup Repair", and "Start Windows Normally". When I go to Launch Startup Repair, my screen goes black, and it loads the exact same menu.

So basically, I'm screwed. I'm 100% sure the update caused it. From what I can tell, this is unrepairable.

If it is unrepairable, can I make Microsoft supply me with a fresh copy of Vista? My Vista is 100% legit.

Don't install updates. Never.
Let a techi do it.
All they are good for is fucking up your computer.

Windows Update got me back at Christmas time. I had to start all over again. It still gives me some issues just because I didn't get it all back to normal.

I"m not sure how installing a windows certified update can be bad for your computer... I've yet to have a problem. There must be some underlying cause for the crashes. It wouldn't be to hard for a virus to lay dormant until the computer is updated.

i hear from ppl the updates just add more bullcrap to ur comp

imo i only install if its for a program, used to fixed a bug or virus and thats it


gl, anyhow and i think u should go to microsoft support website and call ?

1. Is your copy of Window legit?
- IF YES: Go to step 2.
- IF NO: Buy it fool
2. Do you have your original installation CD?
- IF YES: Go to step 3.
- IF NO: You suck.
3. Copy valuable shit to somewhere (Pendrive/CDs/ext hard drive)
4. Reinstall your OS.
5. Watch Hot Fuzz. It is srsly awesome.
