Microsoft admits KB937287 & KB938371 problems

Microsoft admits installing KB937287 with other windows updates will not
work, and as pulled the patch. Therefore you have to install KB937287
seperately and preferably as a standalone then KB938371 and other
patches should install OK. The problem caused many machines to
multi-boot with unsuccesful installs, and in some cases failed to system
restore.
The standalone patchs can be found at:

To GRZYB

If you can't get System restore to show an earlier point try going into
Safe Mode to System Restore and see if there shows an earlier point
there

..To do this, boot up the machine, press F8 during startup to get a menu
of choices, and select the Safe Mode option. If you can't open the
System restore applet from the Start menu once Windows has started in
Safe Mode, click Start, Run, enter rstrui.exe and click OK. This
launches System Restore, and you can then see if can choose a date
before the constant rebooting problems started If it works out reinstall
the two updates separately

restarting when you try to install updates from Windows Update on a Windows
Vista computer.
