As recommend by the Microsoft crew I had enabled automatic updates… Big mistake!

After my laptop installed the batch of updates released on the 9th of January my laptop began endlessly rebooting. It blue screens as soon as is starts to load Vista. To make things even better even safe mode does the same thing.

After a process of trail and error with these update I worked out it was caused by KB943899.

Now obviously this doesn’t affect everyone otherwise they wouldn’t have release it… Or would they? Upon search the Internet I found a number of other reports from users with the same problem… I’ve only noticed DELL owners so far - I own a DELL XPS M1330.

I’ve raised a request with DELL as you can’t directly with Microsoft with an OEM license it appears… now we play the waiting game!
