Some sort of Vista update hosed my laptop last night...luckily I didn't lose a hell of a lot in restoring it to a factory state (MP3s are on my player so I can copy them back, I own the Real Ghostbusters DVDs so can just rip them again, and everything else important is backed up in two other places). The re-setup is annoying though...just when I had this thing running the way I wanted.
The only applications I installed as new were Spybot SD and the PCTools firewall; it doesn't seem like those should have caused a conflict. Unless Windows Defender was throwing a fit...
Recovery Console diagnostics showed no disk errors or other problems, but something in the OS was definitely fried....whatever went wrong, Microsoft didn't know what to do with it.
Any ideas what happened?
