I have tried to do the Windows updates as there is 132 of them but it just won't update, I was give 5 standalone update patches and every time I run them always get blue screen of death. I have read on net many things to do to get it to update working but nothing at all seems to work. I am not a computer expert by any means but have now reach my wits end with it. I don't really want to rebuild the computer but just don't know what to do to fix this pain in my butt. If there is anyone out there that knows a simply easy way to fix this problem without putting a hammer through it I would really appreciate some advice. Thanks
