| | Which updates to install? After using the Vista automatic updates tool, my laptop became very slow and had mulitple error reports. Microsoft customer service advised me to use the recovery disk, and then disable auto updates. So how do I know which updates are "safe" to use? Today I was trying to use the Windows DVD Maker software for the first time and it says there is a problem with Windows and to check for updates - 56 available with about half labeled as "important". Please help if you can! -- Stacey |

If you know what happened in roswell new mexico 1947, then you might understand that some hardware secrets went to IBM and XEROX, and Software secrets went to other companies and later on were transferred to Microsoft. The reference is "the day after roswell" The true story by Philip Corso http://www.amazon.com/Day-After-Rosw.../dp/067101756X yes vista is alienating for a reason! lol "philo" <philo@xxxxxx> wrote in message news  eKdnZ_eUvcIxNDUnZ2dnUVZ_vadnZ2d@xxxxxxQuote: > > "i love vista" <vista@xxxxxx> wrote in message > news:494d57a3$1@xxxxxx-privat.org...

| Vista Home Premium 64bit | Re: Which updates to install? Ok, so let me get this right...If I get a new notebook in two days from circuitcity or bestbuy and it comes with vista64 running on it, you're telling me that I DO NOT want to install the driver updates (which I assume will be packaged right along with all other updates). Why is microsoft sending out "bad" updates, then? wtf? Can somebody please explain this whole "don't update vista" crap to me...I'm scared now. |
