After loading this last update my computer started
rebooting,then when I check for updates it tells me I
have 19 critical,all of which I have have
already,KB839645 says it's not a recognized update and
retry don't work,and won't load it,got it from the MS
site won't open up says I have it,tired of this rebooting
processe,WHY did Microsoft do this to me?I wish I never
checked for any updates,this is the third time MS screwed
me over,now how can I fix this one?I wish i never loaded
KB839645!

Dear Charlie I too have all the same updates and also having problems with my pc.Personnally I think it is their updates that have gone wrong , it`s not the first time. There was an update kb841911 that caused pc`s to slow to a crawl but I uninstalled it a
nd got my speed back. Has for Mr. Rocket well some of us know what to do for updates but logically when your pc goes through some updates and works then all of a sudden you get 5 new updates then the next day u see a change , you automatically go to the la
st thing that changed it.So again I hope that Microsoft takes a few minutes to read these forums meanwhile we could uninstall the latest updates and see if it makes a difference.Good Luck

I know that and even mentioned it in my reply. What would be helpful is to know if there IS an official Microsoft mechanism to report probable bugs in the operating system itself. There is such a means over on MSDN, but only for the development languages

2. Users typically encounter problems with the updates from Windows Update
for one or both of the following reasons:

a. They neglect to temporarily turn off their antivirus software or any
other protective software that interferes with script operations or registry
updates, or do not observe other good practices for software installation,
such as exiting open applications; and


I've done dozens of automatic updates and never had any problems. I typically close applications but not Norton AntiVirus. It has never caused any problems in the past. It is certainly possible that was the cause, but I would give it a low index of suspi
cion, especially since the Installer is typically smart enough to detect and warn about conflicts during installation.


b. They have made changes to their systems, wittingly or unwittingly, that
are not supported by Microsoft.


Read more closely, please. The changes I made were those sent to me by Windows Update. It would be a logical assumption that those changes are therefore supported by Microsoft, wouldn't it? I was submitting this "bug report" since I am obviously not the
only one who has had the identical problem with this particular security update. I thought this information might be useful to someone at Microsoft.

Dear Microsoft,

I wish to echo what this user has said. Yesterday the "automatic Windows
Update" I have (Dell 8200, Win XP Pro SP1) downloaded and installed the
following updates:

KB839645
KB839643
KB841873
KB840315
KB842773
Update V4

After the reboot my system became unstable, crashing during startup with
the Blue Screen Of Death. I would only see the messages for a flash before
it would automatically reboot again, but over the course of many reboots I
managed to see three different STOP errors:

STOP 8E
STOP NO_MORE_IRP_STACK_LOCATIONS
STOP PAGE_FAULT_IN_NON_PAGED_AREA

I managed to start up in Safe mode and did a System Restore to the point
before these six updates were installed, and I am stable again now. Thanks
goodness for the System Restore feature! Good job there.

I don't see any mechanism to report bugs in the Windows OS itself on your
web site, so I hope you read these forums. Good luck finding the bugs. I'll
turn off Automatic Update for now so I don't get "reinfected". I'd
appreciate a followup note to know when Updates are safe to download again.

Let me jump onto the bandwagon by telling my experience with winupdate
version 5 - I foolishly installed onto my system. V5 showed me a number of
hotfixes totalling around 2.9 MB but after starting the download it appeared
that BETA Service Pak 2 had been marked for download as well without my
consent (knowledge). Since those winupdates, once in progress, can NOT be
cancelled (downloading) and no one of the MVP eggsperts had an idea how
to stop this disaster, It was my joy to wipe my HD to come clean of the
situation. I dearly hope MS takes my unpleasant lesson to built an download
ABORT button into winupdate.

minutes to read these forums meanwhile we could
uninstall the latest
updates and see if it makes a difference.Good Luck

.....

Let me jump onto the bandwagon by telling my experience
with winupdate
version 5 - I foolishly installed onto my system. V5
showed me a number of
hotfixes totalling around 2.9 MB but after starting the
download it appeared
that BETA Service Pak 2 had been marked for download as
well without my
consent (knowledge). Since those winupdates, once in
progress, can NOT be
cancelled (downloading) and no one of the MVP eggsperts
had an idea how
to stop this disaster, It was my joy to wipe my HD to
come clean of the
situation. I dearly hope MS takes my unpleasant lesson
to built an download
ABORT button into winupdate.
