Is "Update for Windows Vista (KB937287)" itself also installed?
I believe you may be suffering from the symptoms mentioned in KB949358.
(Don't take the subject or content too literally.)
If and only if the problem started immediately after you installed SP1
manually, open a free SP1 support incident *immediately*! Today is the last
day such support will be available. See links in my previous reply.
If the problem did *not* start immediately after installing SP1 manually,
open a free Windows Update support incident:
Start a free Windows Update support incident request:
https://support.microsoft.com/oas/de...spx?gprid=6527
For home users, no-charge support is available by calling 1-866-PCSAFETY in
the United States and in Canada or by contacting your local Microsoft
subsidiary. There is no-charge for support calls that are associated with
security updates. When you call, clearly state that your problem is related
to a Security Update and cite the update's KB number (e.g., KB999999).
If your problem relates to a Cumulative Security Update for IE, call the
above number and ask to be transferred to the "Consumer IE queue" (which is
47830).
Support for Windows Update:

For more information about how to contact your local Microsoft subsidiary
for security update support issues, visit the International Support Web
site:
http://support.microsoft.com/common/international.aspx
For enterprise customers, support for security updates is available through
your usual support contacts.
