Vista - More updates?

**Peppurr101** · 01-05-2009

Hey cool Norm, 1000 posts!
Thank you.. I'll hide that update..

Airbot.. me neither.. I just wish they'd cut it out. This is the second one I've had to get rid of apart specifically because is wasn't for my system from the ones I don't really need.
I seriously think this is what crashed my system in the first place. Anybody at Microsoft I can contact about this? Should I try?

Have a good one everyone!

Hi peppurr, this is the reason it is NOT a great idea to let your system auto update. Both from Vista and by using so called driver updates programs. Unfortunately software isn't intuitive and sometimes finds it hard to correctly identify your system components. That's why you get problems such as you had recently. Makes a body a bit paranoid, doesn't it? lol
