Hrm... It has been two days since I uninstalled SP1 and still had more vista updates going on... After completing them everything seems fine. So far, no problems at all. But I will need to wait a couple of more days and see what the results are. It is possible that uninstalling Vista SP1 and completing the updates has fixed this problem? hrm, seems as though I installed SP1 too quick and the patches should of been fully patched before installing SP1. Well c in time I guess. I will post my results in a few days.
