I just did a clean install of Vista Business on my Dell vostro 1500 (Because Dell conveniently forgot to add a complete restore option) and everything goes swimmingly until I install the mountain of automatic updates that are available. The copy of Vista is over a year old and there are 73 available updates...when I install them everything is fine until I restart, then it says Configuring Updates, BSOD (super fast, can't even read) keeps restarting until I hard boot it and then it works fine again until i want to restart. If I post the enormous list of updates can someone tell me which are bad, or am I safe to not install any? I'm not about to go through 73 updates one by one restarting lol.

did you get your drivers properly installed?
are there any driver updates in the windows updates your installing?

I don't know how to tell, the updates are all generically named with some numbers next to them. My computer just took the liberty of installing the first 30 before I knew, and it's still running so I might just go through 5 at a time and install them, whenever I get to the bad group I'll just restore...not the optimal way but what can I do, Microsoft is such a dissapointment.

then it's no driver update. vista doesn't update drivers unless you specifically designate them.
