I was visiting a friend this afternoon who was using Nero to copy a Dvd which I have seen him use many times before with no problem, Nero wouldn't do it. He has 2 drives, LG & Samsung which would copy the image to the hard drive but when it came to burn, both drives would wind up as if they were going to start burning & then wind down, they did this a few times until Nero quit with an error. Now this PC hadn't been used in over a week. I told him to take the ISO image from his hard drive & burn with ImgBurn. Setup to copy 3 copies with ImgBurn but right at the beginning, ImgBurn comes up with an error & won't make the first copy but goes on to burn the second copy on the first blank disc & completes the whole job with no problem. On it's own I wouldn't have thought much about this but I experienced the same wind up & wind down problem with my LiteON drive while trying to do a 20X burn, it finished but it would wind up to a certain speed & then wind all the way down, all the way through, (it burns at normal speeds no problem now, I tested). Again on their own I wouldn't think much of this but then I spoke with another friend who is very experienced & in the PC business (he does everything), anyway he tells me he has been getting calls from people having to reinstall programs that used to work like Nero & others having to do System Restores to a point before Tuesday, (hopefully you get what I mean). Even his own machines at home, of course because he knew what he was doing, he could find the faults & fix them, unlike us limited knowledge folks. Long post I know, hopefully you didn't fall asleep reading it, but I just thought I would ask.
Does anybody have or heard of people having problems since PATCH Tuesday?

I just did a restore to last Monday.
I turned off automatic update in Windoze before the restore.
Now my add&remove programs are working (but some programs are still missing)
I had to delete my AVG anti virus and reinstall it using AVG's installer/remover program.
My Ad-Aware was the same thing. Funny thing was it shows up in Windozes add and remove list but their was no delete button to do anything with.
My window defenders reinstall from this morning kept working.
Now for the million dollar question on <strike>jeopardy</strike> DVF
What do I do with windoze's automatic update feature???
Do I leave it off now since it hosed my computer with the last one?? Or try again???Gary D
