:sa: I will never update windows crap again! Every time I update I have about a week worth of problems!!! Anyhow, as you have ascertained, I updated via automatic updates to SP2. When vista tried to start after the update I got an error message just after the vista splash screen went away. It said !!0Xc0190036!!..461477345 wmpand.dll After rebooting again into asus expressgate so I can still use the internet to surf the forums, I restarted and the same thing happened but this time it said !!0Xc0000034!! 257/77345 ($$_microsoft.netframework64_083d4e330e766..) it continues to be stuck on this. I have tried the "Last known good config" and many restarts. I can not get into the OS the only way I have access to the net is through a mini OS that ASUS installs on my MOBO. which doesn't allow much just web, skype, chat and view pictures. If anyone knows what to do about this please let me know.
