Re: Lockups after installing Microsoft Updates on 8/9/05

[Guest Kiss_WinLinOSX]

I get constant lockups now after the last 2 weeks. I assume it is the driver

updates. And yes it appears to be the networking updates. The only problem

is that I downgraded the network driver (nforce 4 eth) to the previous

version and still get the lockups.

 

This is on Vista.
