I've tried to upgrade to NIS 2011 twice and both times the attempt has resulted in instability followed by startup failure on re-boot. And by try I mean the thing has nagged me for weeks and then installed itself. Each attempt has ended in Windows startup repair taking control and rolling my system back to a pre-upgrade state. Is there a workaround for this, or a way to keep that particular bit of code poisen out of my automatic updates?
DETAILS:
current NIS version 16.8.0.41
Windows 7 home premium 64 bit
AMD athalon 64 X2 processor
4 GB memory
