Jane in Marquette asks:
I updated my computer this past week and now it will not start up. What happened, and how do I fix it?
Unforunately this is something that can happen. Microsoft has the uneviable task of designing and supporting an operating system for near unlimited hardware configurations. Every so often, Patch Tuesday will cripple your machine, and in that case all you can do is uninstall the patch. First you will need to find out the updates that were installed, which can be found at Microsoft’s website. In this particular case, Microsoft is aware of the issue, and has several comments up in their forums from users.
