Hello all!
I recently wiped my hard drive clean and reinstalled Vista. It was giving me some trouble before because of a few things I had done, so I chose to start over (After backing up all of my important data, of course!).
After getting over a few of the initial bumps, I got it running again. After I got all of my drivers installed, I went straight for Windows Update. 71 updates available. Woo!
I have been able to install eight of them, but that is all. When I install all of them, it causes a BSoD when I reboot. It doesn't even ever actually get into Windows! Luckily for me, I make restore points often and Dell was kind enough to package an actual Vista installation DVD with my laptop.
I can't figure out which update is causing the problem. Windows Upate won't actually let me install each update individually, either. It seems to want all or none. On top of that, there are no memory.dmp logs, either...
I've set the machine up to stall on the BSoD rather than restart, so I may try to recreate the event to get the actual stop error. If I do, I'll update.
Any ideas?
