From post #10.
My system date dropped back to 01/01/2010.

It's not the update that cause the problem as far as I can tell.
When you loose your systems correct time all kinds of things go goofy.
Normally this means the motherboard battery (cmos battery) has went bad and the bios has lost proper time and therefor Windows 7 lost it's proper time.
I have never known a update do this except when Windows looses its
Genuine status.
Probably true, but this happened when I did the restart after the install. Coincidental I guess, the puter had been on for 5 hrs previous to this. Windows update thru an error that said the time did not match, thats how I discovered the 1/1/2010 date. I have a battery on standby now waiting on tomorrows start up.
Have you reset the date & time again. I also notice you had a post in Office concerning a duplication error in Word 2010 & I am wondering if this may be related to the same date issue.
Yes I did, manually at first then took some doing trying to sync with the internet. This mornings cold start, the time was correct. The new battery awaits:)
The office post was before I did the install. In frustration, I put that aside and did the Windows update install and things went backwards from that.AFter I got things going again, same problem, so just typed it in by hand, rather than copy/paste, and so far things look normal.?
I've installed the updates for Windows 7 on both my machines without any problems, took about 8 minutes for the 10 updates in each case. That leaves the 4 Office 2010 updates on my work machine which I always do separately, and which I'll probably do next week.
11 updates for me, didn't have a problem, I also had to set up Windows Media Player again, did anybody else have to do this
