Just over a week down the road since applying the MS Updates which in desparation, after the AutoUpdate icon in the system tray had popped up and vanished again, I went through the fetch routine in Security Centre, I am finding a number of applications have developed instability and weird behavioural symptoms.

In particular an Epson printer driver that insists on not printing to the bottom edge of a photo image (this edge is also cropped in the printer driver preview window) despite the print preview in three different imaging applications showing the complete image. This has lost me a week, one full of frustration in trying different driver versions and USB cables etc., (phoning Epson Tech' Sup' without any solution forthcomming) and still not finding a cure. All I can do is work around it. Argh!

Another odd thing about AutoUpdate was that I had downloaded and the install process was just about finished when the AutoUpdate icon appeared in the system tray along with the bubble telling me that Updates were available to fetch. I wonder what would have happened if I had elected to fetch and install again?
