Latest updates caused a few problems

Three updates applied on 26/11/08 959108,957321,959130 tonight have caused
some issues.

1st noticed All my Outlook pop account passwords blank

Then opening an excel document reported doc must be encrypted or read only.
Removed all three updates and faults reversed.

Don't know which update caused issue?

Install one at a time, manually, reboot after each one and check for the
changes you say they made last time between each install/after each reboot.
Let us know!

I assume you have one of these:
- Windows Vista Service Pack 1, when used with:
- Windows Vista Enterprise 64-bit Edition
- Windows Vista Home Basic 64-bit Edition
- Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit Edition
- Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit Edition
- Windows Vista Business
- Windows Vista Enterprise
- Windows Vista Home Basic
- Windows Vista Home Premium
- Windows Vista Ultimate

and not one of these:
- Windows Server 2008 Datacenter without Hyper-V
- Windows Server 2008 Enterprise without Hyper-V
- Windows Server 2008 for Itanium-Based Systems
- Windows Server 2008 Standard without Hyper-V
- Windows Server 2008 Datacenter
- Windows Server 2008 Enterprise
- Windows Server 2008 Standard

No problem, but I would say you are wiser for it.

If you are saying the problems went away and have not occurred again after
installing each of them now - looks like none of those updates caused your
problems - something else did.

And you do not just have Windows Vista - you obviously have Windows Vista
with SP1 and not just any Windows Vista with SP1 - but one of these versions
of Windows Vista with SP1:

- Windows Vista Enterprise 64-bit Edition
- Windows Vista Home Basic 64-bit Edition
- Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit Edition
- Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit Edition
- Windows Vista Business
- Windows Vista Enterprise
- Windows Vista Home Basic
- Windows Vista Home Premium
- Windows Vista Ultimate

And yes - it does make a difference many times. Specifics can help
immensely.

I have seen and now witnessed first-hand trouble getting Windows Vista
Ultimate 64-bit Edition with SP1 to boot after installing KB 959108. I have
not witnessed that yet with any of the 32-bit versions (although it could
happen with that update or another.)

So now are you not only wiser about what did not cause your issue directly,
but when asking for help - it is wise to give complete information, not
partial, even if you are unsure if it is important. ;-)
