Default Computer Freezing after Startup

Yesterday morning & this morning, after turning my computer on, it freezes!
I can't get anywhere or do anything. I have to turn it off by pushing the
button until it shuts off. I wait a few minutes, turn the computer back on
and it won't start at all at first, then I push the button back on again and
finally it starts up. This morning though it froze up the 2nd time it had
restarted so I do the same thing all over and now it's running and I'm able
to be in this group and so forth. My question is it happening to anybody
else. I did get an update from Microsoft yesterday morning. Seems like it
does it right after an update. This has been going on since February since
having Vista Ultimate on a new computer.

Thanks for any help at all.

Betty

Since the problem occurred right after an update, either uninstall the
updates or do a System Restore to before the updates were installed.

When you do the updates, take the option to view the updates instead of
just installing "Express". You may be installing a driver update that is
causing this issue. I always set Windows Updates to download and inform
me instead of to Automatic. This way you can see what the updates are
and make choices.

Did you install any new software or hardware? This kept happening when
I installed a d-link wireless adapater.. it wasnt compatible and kept
freezing my pc.
