Today (15 Feb '08) I installed 5 updates from Windows Update that included
WIndows Defender definition update and 4 Windows Live updates. When I
re-booted, my laptop sounded a critical alarm and refused to boot. I managed
to get to the Lenovo Rescue and Recovery and looked at the Event log. There
were a number of new events around the update including two occurences that
showed a timeout in expanding the update file. Despite this failure,
apparently, the update proceeded and corrupted the config. There were also a
couple of Event log items indicating the registry file "was still in us by
another application."
The net is that I cannot re-boot. Anyone have any ideas on what I might try?
The machine will not boot into safe mode nor to the infamous "last known good
configuration". And, the Lenove Rescue and Recovery can see the hard drive
and, at least, list all the files on disk (i.e. not a hard disk problem).
Thanks for any insights
