Are you using Vista x64 on an AMD chip too?

(Live Search for
8e5e03FB (MSFT OR MVP)
)


Is it from HP?

There is a known problem with that configuration for XPsp3.
Don't know about Vista SP1... ; )


In any case I suggest you try some diagnosis.
E.g. find all files which were changed by the update
which contain that error code and then find the context
that it occurs in. Frequently the reported code isn't the
most important symptom found that way anyway.
