i have had to restore my HP desktop numerous times this month, just to get it working again. most times it just hangs w/o loading windows complete (nor connecting online). i even went to the trouble to install the updates one at a time, & i thought it went ok - until i didn't turn my computer on for a few days - & when i tried this a.m., it again hung like the other times. i had to restore to an earlier date (10/8) - but i see in this one log that i copied while in safe mode that there were problems even on the 1st of the month (service control manager, for one).

i cannot d/l & install any of these updates... i haven't had problems for ages, & now it's constant. (this might make me think of a mac in the future)
