Do you mean, you have a lot of Windows updates waiting to be installed?
What happens, when you try to install them?

    I'm little bit stumped how so many drivers could have gone bad overnight...

      When I click on update the devices i wrote down, it say's they all have been updated with succes. I dunno, all i know is i am pissed ( sorry ) I seem to have the worth luck with compters, even a new one. I am going to restore and not let windows update for now.

      Thank you for your help.

      Dyanne.

      PS: I am just confused on how I can acces some websites but others i cant... pogo is another website I get into but as soon as i try to play a game ( loading ) it wont.

      Another question ...with HP pc running windows Vista..why am i able only to open the J drive for my mp3 player ( add songs ) with windows xp the d drive opens. I can 't even delete a song, i have to reformat to take my music out.  It's like the songs are burn right into my mp3...so weird.

        I really want to know how importing updating windows is and does it need to be updates everday? I checked, it's update at 3 am each day, so goes to show you, I had no problems with my computer until yesterday morning.

        You checked where exactly?
        Windows updates come only once a month.

              OMG! It updated twice yesterday, this morning because if the restoring, I install 2 when i was talking to you, now i have 8 more...why? the ones they are saying to install have been installed only this morning, told you my computer really has a mind of it's own, this is very weird is it not? I am not updating these things.

              If it's Vista...... Defender may have daily updates...
              Set your Update options to Notify me only don't install...
              Especially helpful when they release a broken updates which has happened before.

              I normally wait about 3 weeks to install new updates...i check the Forums for issues in the meantime.

                ok, but can it be only one device right now that's messing up my computer? i botice in pass updates that a few of the deviced failed to update but did install with succes later on. I do have defender. I dont have a choice of 3 weeks or a month, only a week, so i set it for next Saturday at 2 pm...now , when it does update, I am figuring this will happen again...only solution right now i can see and understand is to restore to a previous day my computer of ok.


                Just wish i knew what was wrong  .

                BTW, if i now check in the device manager will it show me  what all the deviced looked like two days ago? If you understand what I mean? I am just wondering if the devices i gave you still have that yellow warning.

                  ok, I set it up as you told me, however it does shut off the auto update, so many to choose from, how do i know the ones that are to be installed?

                  Install them one-by-one, restarting computer every time to see, if Device Manager stays OK.

                  Oh, install Windows updates only. Don't touch any device drivers updates, if proposed by Windows updates.

                  None of them ...or very few should be device drivers...Travel to Control Panel /System/Device Manager and post which devices have Yellow !'s next to them...
