    Which one, the REG file or WURT?

    Whichever, we need one or more reputable sources for your proclamation please.

    I thought I posted this, but it I guess it didn't go through:

    I downloaded the windows update fix and clicked on it. It did its thing, and then I rebooted. It froze during the reboot. I restarted in safe mode, system restore, etc.

    I then connected the computer directly to the cable modem (bypassing the router) and tried to update. It did the same old thing.

    I started a session with microsoft, but that's a slow process. How important are these updates, anyway??

    Thanks!

    Sure helps keep you in ownership of your computer.

    You have heard of zombies?

    They think they own the computer, but guess who does.
