An update right after a clean install usually leaves a few hundred "failed to ... xyz state" error messages in the event log. For me the "solution" is to install Windows Update Agent .381 (because the self update is screwy) and KB937287 manually before even turning automatic updates on. Et voila, errors and suspicious activity in the update log are gone. So yeah, it's probably worth a try to install KB937287 or verify whether the error messages really stopped after the patch got installed recently.

But about Vista - a single question - it really worth ? an Upgrade to my Xp or I can continue with Ubuntu ? ( I have dual boot now ). Sincerely I become proactive in Ubuntu - trying Ubuntu - and I like it more and more, Photoshop CS2 work well here as Dreamweaver, I can play almost any multimedia file - can I obtain more ( performance ) using Vista ? I'm not a flamewars guy - I just ask If is OK for Upgrade.

And rest assured, the problem with the updates has nothing to do with your driver issue. I am on VISTA Ultimate with automatic updating "on", and since December 2007 I had the "failed to ... Staging state" problem, with a reversal of the update, in three cases (two IE7 security patches and the famous KB 938371 SP1 preparation patch). I have opened a support incident with MS, but am still awaiting response. Indeed, being blocked from an SP1 upgrade seems a very novel marketing approach for MS. I have little hope this'll bring something, but if you leave me your mail address (mine is willem.overbeeke@oap-mgt.com), I'll keep you posted. Cheers, Willem You have found a fellow sufferer!
