Vista Update, Blank Screen after restart

Windows Vista ran an automatic update (i have it set to 'ask'??????) so I
have no idea what update ran. When asked to restart, I did. Now my screen
is blank.

What do I do now?

Thanks,

Annie~

RE: Vista Update, Blank Screen after restart

I manually shut down and restarted. On a black screen, lots of strings of
letters and numbers ran across the screen. Then the computer 'did' start OK.

I checked to see what updates ran, mostly security. One that failed was:

Windows Update software 7.2.6001.784

Installation status: Failed

Error details: Code 80070002

Update type: Important

Any advice?

Done. Thanks, Paul.

Will try to redownload the failed update.

Blank screen after reboot

Still trying to find the answer to the problem. However you can escape the the problem with task manager - shift control delete & end the blank page.
