Vista SP1 Update Kills Computers, Microsoft Responds
Vista SP1 was recently handed out to some select testers, with mixed results. However, things took a turn for the worse when Microsoft tried to release one of the first updates to SP1. Update KB937287 will effectively freeze most computers caught trying to put it onboard. Most users who will get a problem don't see the issue until it is too late. There is a general consensus that users will see a certain "Configuring updates: stage 3 of 3 - 0% complete" error, and then get stuck in a reboot cycle. When Microsoft caught wind of this, they began an investigation. The report will determine how widespread the problem is, how to fix KB937287 and if this error can somehow be fixed. Until then, Microsoft has pulled the update before it can brick more computers. At this point, the best way to fix this is to stick in your Windows Vista install CD, and run System Restore from the CD. If you somehow manage to fix your PC, Microsoft urges that you turn off Windows Update until they sort out this whole mess.

Wait I started getting BSOD's around the time I was trying to install SP1, maybe it wasn't the RAM's fault that I RMA'ed after all and it was them...

Yea that update failed to install several times on my computer. I was confused b/c everytime I installed it, it would simply start to download again. I considered simply turning off windows update, but for some reason selecting the option to install and then turn off from the start menu finally got it on there. Haven't had any problems since *knocks on wood*

When any one of you develop an OS software that works on hundreds of millions of computers with different hardware and software configurations that allows you to do all of the things currently expected of an OS...Call me.
Quit cutting down tall poppies and face the fact that its not easy, even for a multinational company with more employees than you could poke a god damn multi branched nuclear stick at. |
