    for the past two days i have been fighting with windows update to update my laptop. there are 7 important updates listed with 3 optional ones. every time i try to install the updates windows fails to start during the reboot. i have attached the list of updates available and my update history.

    should i go one by one until the culprit is found?

    That's what I'd recommend. I had to do that once, except I had tons of updates-- I'd just reinstalled Windows. :cool:

    Try starting a new thread about your problem, and you'll get more help. ;)

    i think i found the problematic update. it was the Microsoft .NET framework 3.5 sp1 and family update. it would just hang on installing. i have it hidden. how would i go about installing that.
