   Stai giudicando un bambino appena nato, sei invato a guardarti i blue screen di Leopaard.

   Vista è il migior sistema operativo commerciale disponibile sul mercato, siete invidiosi su quello che sarà il miglior sistema operativo di domani.

   I'm running into the same problem that DDustin and dovella seem to be having - after installing the latest round of Windows Updates, the computer now does not log into Windows - I get the normal glowing Windows Orb logo, then it says "Please wait...", then "Configuring Updates...". After that sometimes I'll see my login picture and password box for about a quarter second, then it switches to "Shutting Down...". It then repeats this process indefinitely :(

   I've tried all the repair tools on my Vista DVD to no effect - even System Restore doesn't work (gives me some error message about transactions or something).

   Not a happy camper.

   Hey jhayward:  sorry for the frustration, this sounds like an unhappy situation.  Have you tried starting in Safe Mode and rolling back to the Last Known Good Configuration?

   Thanks for the reply Nick. Attempting to boot into Safe Mode or Last Known Good Config mode both do the exact same thing as booting normally - albeit in a much lower display resolution.

   Your statement is irrelevant. Don't like Vista? Don't use it. Don't like Windows? Go Linux or Mac. Don't like computers? Don't use them.

   Vista does what the consumer- and professional markets asks for: Nice Looks, fun gadgets and a sense of speed. 2b users, 2 b opinions. So please start developing linux apps or something instead of crying like a malcontented baby.

   I too, am tired of the whining, hand-wringing and teeth-gnashing over Vista. I have used Windows since 2.0, and new releases of Windows have always been met with the same tired diatribes. I think it just comes down to two personality types. Those that like and welcome change, and those that don't. The user community has always helped mold the new Windows with feedback. Microsoft then changes the OS, or users find third-party ways to fix it to their liking. Like the UAC - As Nancy Reagan always said, I "Just say No", and turn it off. For me, new Windows is like having a child, when you first have one, they are helpless and stupid, but you have the joy of watching it grow into a smart and powerful adult. I happen to love it, and can't wait for it to mature!

   I installed.

   System hung when trying to shutdown (configuring updates....)

   On re-boot, system worked but it doesn't look like the update was installed.

   I have all the latest updates.

   When I tried to reinstall got message "this update doesn't apply..."

   So the systems seems to think it was sort of installed.  Any way to confirm it was or delete it so I can try again?

   I have always had a lot of shutdown problems.

   thanks

    Hope this isn't off-topic, but my system was updated (via Windows Update) today and, after rebooting, the multi-monitor setup no longer worked.  I rolled back via system restore and multi-monitor works again.  couldn't find any reports of similar problems, so didn't know where else to go to report and/or resolve the issue.  If someone can point me in the right direction...
