Whenever i check for Windows updates,the page where it says"most recent check for updates"it says never,and where it says "updates were installed,it also says never. I do run the updates and it downloads,but the next time that i start it's the same. Win Vista. Why do they keep erasing? Thanks
Laptop doesn't retain updates...

That seems to be the general consensus out there.
Although, I've used it for some time before upgrading to W7, and haven't really experienced any issues.

It's been good so far,after I ran that Microsoft tool,and i also turned off automatic updates. It's only for a laptop that i gave my 8 y.o. son,so if it catches anything,reformat time again. Thanks to all for responding.

There are free programs such as macrim reflect
+1 Once I get a computer setup the way I like it I use Redo Backup and Restore and clone the drive. I do this before adding any data, and call it a Virgin BU with the date. If anything goes bad I do a restore from that and add my data from a data backup which I keep separately. It has saved me more than once, and is very easy to do.
