2 separate Net framework, an IE8 and killbits updates
Hi
I am sending this from work as I cant actually use my home PC at the moment (not the Win7 OS anyways - the Vista HP SP2 works faultlessly!).
On my home PC's WIN7 OS I have continual 'lockups'...easiest way to describe it. The PC just stops working after a few minutes...my Gadget clock with a second hand just stops - time freezes. The only way to get any action is to hard boot.
So last night I did another system restore back to Sept 21 configuration.
NO PROBLEM with system, worked fine. So I went to Windows Update and downloaded the 5 Office 2007 updates on offer. After, still no problem.
But when wanting to close down I noticed that the PC was offering up the "Shut down and install Updates" pop-up. So I went back to Windows Update to see what was on offer and there were 2 seperate .Net updates (one for Win2000, WinXP and Vista) and the other for WIN7. Also, a Killbits update and a cumulative security update for IE8.
I left all checked and installed all. Rebooted, and ... bugga ... back to the lockedup PC I went!....so ...my longwinded question is...why the 2 .Net updates???
I am going to restore again tonite and then hide the .Net Win2000/XP/Vista .Net update and only install the Win7 one, and I am then one by one going to install the killbits and IE8 updates...to try an isolate the cause.
Failing that...........???
Could prefetch or search function be causiing this? But going from the 'second' hand on my gadget clock, the whole PC is in a frozen state.....
