Vista - Huge problem with security update kb935902 on Windows Update

what I would suggest is to change the update to NOTIFY you when they are available.
when you see one is available STOP the Virus program and any extra firewall, download and install the update, after the reboot, turn everything back on.

I installed this security update that was coded as an important update on
Windows Update. After rebooting, the system went to a blue screen (error in
win32k.sys). It would not even boot in safe mode, so I had to boot from the
Vista CD, run a system restore and everything worked fine. Then, a few
hours later, Windows Update automatically installed the update again and on
reboot, again the same blue screen error. I had to run system restore a
second time to fix it.

Has anyone else had this problem? Is there any solution other than turning
off automatic update right now? How can MS screw up so bad on an update
that it forces to people's systems by default?

I also have experienced this problem - last night right after the update. It
downloaded & installed then restarted. I can get as far as the Welcome
screen & no farther. I currently am at work, so I don't have my PC's info,
but it's only 2 weeks old, Gateway DX430s, and other than Office 2007 &
Firefox, nothing I have loaded on my pc is what JH has.
