I have Windows Vista and for the last week when I start my computer the Command Prompt open with C:\windows\system32\msupdate.exe. Then below it a little window opens with C;\windows\system32\msupdate.exe. (In this box it says) The NTVDM CPU has encountered an illegal instruction. CS:1335 IP:3539 OP:0fc70000e7 chooce close to terminate the application.

I do not even know why this is showing up I have ran my registry booster and also virus,spyware and ,malware scans. Could someone please let me know how to stop it from opening when I start my computer? Diana

Cool trick, I hope they put all the little XP treaks into the OS !

Next they need to be able to set the NUM LOCK default at start up.

Simple but very useful little trick. I love it. Why doesn’t Microsoft tell us this stuff? They would raise their reputation immeasurably if they would just publish a lttle brochure called a Vista User’s Manual that could be included with every OEM installation and every update disk. Most of the stuff on this website should be in it.
