It might be prudent to check the installation with Micrsoft’s baseline security tool, or Bel Arc Advisor. It is pretty easy to hose up an update installation like that.

Do I still need to download fixes and if so how do I download just the stuff I need? As always, thanks in advance, Sean Brian,

Lately, after installing <i>any</i> software updates that require a restart, my computer has hung during the process at the log-in screen. Like Heron, I have had to manually shut down all the way and then reboot from power-off. XP/SP3 fully patched and secure. Is there something about some current software updates (happened with Java, too) that tends to overload the XP restart process? Or is my computer (wiped and cleanly reinstalled just a year ago) showing its age? Everything else works fine... @Heron: “My computer hung in the “computer is shutting down” screen after I clicked to restart it…” Lately, after installing any software updates that require a restart, my computer has hung during the process at the log-in screen.

After resetting the service passwords all was fine. I haven't isolated the update that caused this behavior. Anyone notice the same?

Like duh. It took about a minute to install. I agree the details link to a Web browser window is screwy. They could borrow Apple's detail window view for the Mac version.

The 2 Microsoft Office 2007 updates failed with a Windows Update error code 646, which I can't find documented anywhere -- even on Microsoft's own website.

I really don't like how they've changed the "details" link. Where previously you would click on "details" and see what the update(s) were, now it opens a browser window to a list of all of the updates. Brian, what’s your impression of the new Adobe updater?
