re: Removing USB Stick Causes BSOD Thursday, August 27, 2009 at 9:47 am Windows Vista Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Steve (2 messages posted) I had this problem and using your advice uninstalled the referenced update. It fixed it for me also, thanks very much for the time saving post. So, the question now is do we have to suspect Microsofts updates of causing more problems than they fix? Should I quit accepting updates? So far Vista has been the most troublesome product I have ever used!! I will buy an Apple next.
