Re: [XP Pro] Windows Update last night, now won't boot.
Can I add that after I applied the update and restarted the the other computer next to me, the monitor drivers started acting up.
Since the monitor is a CRT, you have to make adjustments so the image shows correctly. Well after the restart, Windows wasn't showing my monitor correctly (Multiple Monitors was shown under display properties instead of my monitor model) and the image itself was way off alignment. I think the reasoning for that is because since it did not detect my monitor correctly, it ran at a lower refresh rate than 85Hz which is set up fine image wise.
Anyways, another reboot solved that problem, but still made me wonder if the update did indeed create that problem.

| I will never understand how good/necessary a such "critical" update is if you are already warned that it screws up your system.
When someone has the "warning" little icon in the taskbar that WU d/loaded some critical update, it should click "CUSTOM" rather than doing it "EXPRESS"ly.
If you check the "custom" box, then you can find out what are the characteristics of that latest "critical" update, and any issues it may bring along, because it provides you with MS link discussing that particular update.
This latest KB925902 "critical" update it may cause the Realtek HD Audio Control panel to not start....well, actually it can be read @
http : // support. microsoft. com/?kbid=925902 .
The "antidote" is yet another "update", KB935448.
How sweet it is to be... |
