Yeaup.

Just booted back up about 2 minutes ago.

After telling the computer to Safely Remove my thumbdrive (16GB OCZ Rally2), I unplug it (have to go behind the desk).

Get back to the lovely BSOD.

Reboot, find out my wireless card seems to have disappeared.

I guess DLink's WDA-2320 Wireless G card (internal, PCI) and OCZ's Rally2 16GB use the same I/O Numbers/Ports..

Which should not happen in today's world, but I guess Microsoft did not think many people would have so many devices connected to their systems these days.
 
ooh, just noticed I lost Auto-Hide (for the Start bar... and it's still fucking checked in the options).

UPDATE: fixed; restart (and with a suggestion read online, deleted the contents of the Prefetch folder, don't worry, Vista rebuilds as necessary).
 
Second BSOD within an hour.

Absolutely stumped, guessing that one of the Windows Updates messed with wireless settings, as well as drivers, as I cannot install drivers for the wireless card anymore.

So, I'm at my mom's, downloading new BIOS and Wireless Drivers for my computer.

Other than that, I am pretty much fucked for using that computer to do any work (thus no pay)

Did you try restoring it to a previous working date

Yeah.

Wireless drivers still would not work with the card they were designed for, because Vista reported the drivers to not be compatible for the card.

Also, I was able to view the installed updates (the culprit) but to uninstall them was an impossibility. Therefore, I just said fuck it.

I went to my buddy's house, traded the functionally capable card (i installed it in his computer, got the drivers automatically, it fucking worked.. :mad) for another dLink card he had, brought it home, installed it without issue.

Problem: ISATAP (Provides IPv6 crap over IPv4 or something like that) and Windows Update "updated" my wireless drivers, which did not have a roll-back option.

Fix: get a new wireless card not of the same model as the "non-working" one
