Mine started after midnight last night. I formatted and it is OK.
I did not apply the patch, and it is still OK.
Moms PC not so lucky, it is rebooting ONLY AFTER NET CONNECTION she is on a dialup. RPC error.
I changed the RECOVERY tab option, so that her PC does not reboot, but instead it restarts the service.
Go to control panel>admin tools>services>RPC.
Change from "restart computer" to "restart service".
I have the patch downloaded and will try on moms PC in morning.
It took down my antivirus last night. I also lost task bar and ability to move files or copy and paste.
Lost a bit of data, darn!

To err is human, but to really foul things up requires a computer.
