Hi ginfest--
Can you show me where there is information on the reliability monitor
"updating"? What precisely do you mean by "updating" the reliability
monitor and how do you know it "hasn't updated"? Are you referring to dates
when you access it via taskman's performance tab and click the button
"create a data collector set and diagnosis report"? Do you mean events or
logging installation of software installs and uninstalls? Viewing all
available historical data?

Several people have reported a repair install works with the Vista DVD. You
can also try running Startup Repair which is not just confined to fixing
Startups as the Win RE team has incorrectly labled it. I'm not sure that
either would "update" your Reliability Monitor.
