Crazy Vista OS

I have not been able to research the why but when I logged on to my computer this morning it was if the OS was booting for the first time or doing a reinstall.

The account was there but nothing else no documents ETC, the welcome center greeted me IE was back to a MSN config and unable to fully load.

I checked my main HD and saw it had not erased its self so I did a system restore and saw a windows update on 4/23 so I restored to an earlier date and everything works as it should.

So my question is; is there a known issue with the latest MS update that issue causing personnel setting to reset themselves?

I'm using Vista Home Premium 64-bit, so not directly comparable, but the latest Windows Update that was applied was on the 15th, and there's nothing pending.

Don't know what your update on the 23rd was; did you check the update log file?
