I also update my vista but didn't encounter that problem. Most probably it's not becoz of the update alone. Maybe a software conflic or somesort. If it is becoz of win update then lots of people will be screaming right now with the same problem including me.
If u hated system restore so much why didn't u use other backup software? It's a good practice to backup your stuff when using such a new and unexplore stuff like vista.
If u dont mind reinstalling windows then go ahead but if u do, wait for a few days and see if other people can find the sollution.
Sorry dude.
yea i dont mind reinstalling vista. In fact thats my only option. I just here to share my problem i u all have encountered and share the resolution if any u have one.
i dont need ANY backup software for any of my systems cuz i know what im doing.
i dont think it's a software conflict. cuz this is related to the system main components, control panel, system properties, not to mention i CANNOT run WINDOWS UPDATE too!
i dont have much software installed in my vista ultimate though. in fact i just use normal application like office 2007 enterprise, some multimedia platers and some games. So im VERY sure it is NOT a software compatibility or some sort. I encountered the problem after i ran windows update.
overall, i think this is somekind of BUG related.
