BBC News item detailing problem can be found here
CNET has info at http://news.cnet.com/8301-13860_3-10406369-56.html?tag=mncol
Patch that may help is at http://www.prevx.com/blog/140/Black-Screen-woes-could-affect-millions-on-Windows--Vista-and-XP.html
Luck to all if you have it…thank goodness I wait for two weeks on all patches for Linux and Windows.
I’ve said it before, so I’ll say it again
the first thing I do after an install is turn automatic updates off 
I’m still here, the computer is still here, all my programs still work :tiphat:
and I have all your credit card details, not that they are much use 
:whistle:

which has made me think … the 2 people I know that have been scammed online follow the Microsoft Bible religiously
anyway, it’s horses for courses really, some people just need to be led by the hand down the yellow brick road and trust what rich people tell them (not ever wondering how they became rich in the first place)
hands up if you bought a Diesel car because the Government said it would be cheaper and cleaner :lol:
Not likely to be caused by the MS patches after all…

Damn, was just about to post the same link! *
a little egg on your face first thing in the morning for Prevx, or a nice load of publicity?
Cynic? Me?

Oops …they happen. What is strange is that DT and I know all to well never point finger at a programmer…specially at MS staff…they can plant you in the ground if wrong pretty quickly!
