Vista - fonts and display have changed since Windows Update
I had the same problem yesterday and had to back up and restore to an earlier period. This morning the same automatic update came and it's the same thing. It affects my desktop screen, my icons, and all programs. I have a Dell with Windows Vista Edition Home Premium.
Fitz,
Who updates?
the first step is to remember the famous words of wisdom: if it ain't broke, don't fix it!
the second step is to NEVER make an upgrade with anything that does not come from the brush head or a trusted source
as a general rule, it is best to install only the updates of the security. and you should always stay away from hardware (optional) on the microsoft site drivers! chances are the drivers that you are fine just the way they are. If you did not need to update, you should go to the manufacturer Web site the real to do.

Display has changed after Windows update
After you have installed the latest updates of windows on 12/12/2012, my screen has changed. All the graphics have been expanded, including the desktop icons, taskbar, tool bars, bars of window, etc.. I checked the configuration of the monitor and the icon size in the taskbar and start menu properties (which remains set on small icons), but I can't find how to go back to my original display size.
The installed updates were:
Update security for Windows XP (KB2758857)
Update security for Windows XP (KB2753842)
Update security for Windows XP (KB2779030)
Update security for Windows XP (KB2770660)
Update for Windows XP (KB2779562)
A security update cumulative for Internet Explorer 8 for Windows XP (KB2761465)
Update of security suites for Microsoft Office 2007 (KB2760416)
Update of security for Word Viewer (KB2760498)
and
5.10 Skype for Windows (KB2727727), who fails to install
Grateful for any help please?
Thank you for your kind assistance which directed me to the solution. Change the screen resolution in the problem resolved display settings. Strange how that changed spontaneously after the restart following the installation of the security updates.
Thank you very much

Hello
Try to re - install ZoneAlarm on laptop, BUT it tells me that I must upgrade to the Microsoft Windows Service Pack 1 (SP1) to do this... I am running Windows Vista and when I click on windows update it works for literally hours without anything happeneing.
Zone Alarm has a key valid license - but for some strange reason, he will not have, so I had to uninstall and reinstall ZoneAlarm - he tells me that I need this update - who will not come?
Note: Windows Firewall is turned on right now and when I look at 'exceptions' does not offer updates of windows as part of the selection list.
Please, any advice on this will be greatly appreciated.
