I (Stupidly-yes CAPITAL "S") updated my Win7-64bit Ultimate machine this past Tuesday without waiting to hear what others are experiencing....
Some non-MS apps are failing to load. Has anyone seen or heard of this problem? Any thoughts (other than roll back)?
Thanks.

Can you provide a list of programs that you know are not working?

2010-06-09 21:36Thanks for the confirmation.
BVRP Classic Phone Tools V9.0 is the first place I noticed a problem. But.. what was weirder(?) was that explorer.exe was failing on re-starts...
I've removed all the updates Except... I noticed some of them are OLD ... Like the update program just noticed I needed to update Office 2007 and it threw 6 security updates at me. I've had the program for 5 months!!!
