Recent Windows patches may cause black screen, free fix available (updated)

As insect stated at the first post, I too am having no problems with the updates. It sounds to me more like the security software broke than Windows in this case. So most of us will probably never see this problem. I'm running 4 computers (different manufacturers too) on Windows 7 now and they all run great. It is good though that there is a free fix for those seeing these issues.

No issues here at all.

Hmm, 99% no problems with Win7 updates EXCEPT for one optional update (Realtek NIC Driver) that did in fact "break" my NIC - the worst part of it was that it was intermittent and didn't show up immediately - by the time I figured out the real problem I was ready to tear my hair out and the driver rollback feature did not work. Eventually managed to source a working driver from the manufacturers website - now I am super wary of optional hardware driver updates....

As if the whinning and sleezy I'm a Mac ads need anything more to try and shoot with (I for one am sick of them). However, I upgraded to Win 7 from Vista and I can say that Win 7 thus far has been a pleasure and that I have had no issues whatsoever. MS really did it right this time around.

Ha! *boast* I was right about something!

I knew it seemed a tad bit fishy...
