After the updates released on Feb 12, I had 2 computers dead - they would not restart.  One was Windows XP and I got it back by selecting "last known working configuration" which was before the windows updates.  My other computer is a 1 yr old laptop with

Windows 7.  I had to do a system Restore to get it back working.  I have turned off automatic windows updates on both computers now.  I am hesistant to install anymore updates.  Is there a known problem with the updates that were just released this month?

How can i keep my computers up-to-date without going through this restoring again?
