Stealth Windows update reportedly causes XP repair mode to fail

These days your everyday, commodity PC is in many ways more far more complex than the mainframes of the 1970s. It's a wonder that keeping them up and running is usually not all that difficult. Because today's desktop systems are quite inexpensive (even compared with just five years ago), they are in the hands of untold millions of consumers around the globe. Of course, things do go wrong with them sometimes, and it can be quite a challenge to unravel the complex underlying issues and get them operating again. All this is not helped when even an experienced player like Microsoft occasionally gets it wrong.

If there's one advantage Microsoft's Hardware division should have over everyone else making cameras, mice and keyboards, it would be the ability to write supporting software that worked pretty well with Windows. So it's both annoying and mysterious that the drivers for its latest notebook web cams are proving problematic to the point of being literally unusable with Vista.
