Vista Premium crash after auto vista update & installation

Hi, my Dell XPS M1330 has downloaded & installed auto updates for Vista
premium home edition and on restarting it loads with a blue screen only
visible for milliseconds and then reboots. What do I do? There is obviously
a compatibility issue with one of the patches and hardware. How do I
identify which and roll back the update and also ensure it does not download
& install it again?

Just a guess... KB943899?
Roll back with 'repair a computer' using installation cd. Unfortunatelly,
it'll almost for sure remove more updates than needed.

Looking at the event log, it seems that KB943899 was the last update
installed. On restart the "service control manager" had mulitple failures.
Using the OS disk I restored to last operational version and it seems fine
for now. Thanks.

Thanks for the information. I have a Dell D630 and had the
blue screen crash upon windows update as well. I changed the automatic
windows update to manual and fixed the problem. It was derived from KB943899
which came available on January 8th 2008. I left it unselected until
Microsoft fixes the problem.

My advice is to go to the last RESTORE POINT prior to the update KB943899 or
point of crash. Although you cannot restart the computer you should be able
to shut it down, then be able to access Windows. Then from that point
CHANGE SETTINGS so that you can de-select the automatic update KB943899 and
don't run it until Windows fixes the problem. Hope this is helpful.

I just got my Dell XPS M1330 today and ran into the same problems as everyone
else, heck of a first day with this notebook. I have it narrowed down to the
KB943899 update being the root of my problems. Has Microsoft come up with a
patch to this yet?
