I guessing here as you don't provide needed information.
Are you running Vista? If so, have you tried going back to a restore point
previous to the river installation?

As a general rule, it's a really bad idea to install hardware driver updates
through WU. You only need to update drivers *if* you are having issues with
that hardware, and you should go direct to the hardware maker for drivers.

I'm running wind xp sp2, downloaded the latest security updates and rebooted
comp a little while ago, now everything seems just fine(still researching
this issue though). Also you mentioned sys restore, I tried that before the
orig post and every restore point I selected would not work. Things seem to
be running fine, just a little slow. Thanks for the info and help.
