This laptop (purchased 9/2006 - Windows XP OS)worked fine last night, went to shut it down for the night, had Windows updates to download - closed it up...
This morning I'm getting odd error messages and the system won't boot. It is under warranty so I will call DELL support tonight; but has anyone had a problem with a downloaded update causing their system to not respond??? Had to be what happened.....

Jump to PostI doubt this would be a dell error, sounds more like an OS error. What did dell say after you called them?
Jump to PostDid the system restore solve the problem? Would you please post the exact error messages.
Jump to PostIt's not unusuall to get the occasional corrupted download, these things happen. I've had problems installing drivers from a CD, and even W2k which I've used many times in the past, this one time it wouldn't recognize the product code. Go figure.
