Windows update error

I don't know what it is, or what the error is, but I do know some folks have been having unidentified issues of late.

I noticed on tweakguides that MS have rescinded a recent Windows update, which may cause some issues.

This is the page covering the issue:

If you can understand all of that, you're a bigger nerd than I am!

Righto - I see people saying they don't hear about these things and also mention of Java updates causing issues or not sure if they are genuine etc. I always check with tweakguides on these things. If there is an error, it will appear there. If a VGA driver turns out to be a bad one - it will be mentioned there. Same with Java updates. If you get asked to update, go to tweakguides and see if there is a new version or update that has just been released.

It's a simple measure that can save a lot of frustration, or data. ;)

I've been visiting this site every day - just to cover the latest and if it applies to me - for about 8 years now. I've even bought two of his Windows books. I'd recommend those of you unsure on updates and java bookmark it and have a look when you have doubts:

Thanks for that JOhn,
Andy's recent virus-with-update experience makes me very wary of what I click on.
Your link is now in my bookmarks. ;) :thumbsup:
