after installing 2886469 - update for internet explorer flash player - I could not play videos offered on TV networks or Hulu - got sound but only saw multi colors on screen - used recovery to go to configuration before update - reloaded all updates except 2886769 and problem went away - do not want to reload update 2886469 until I know that it will not cause any problems - took me half the day to figure out how to correct the problem and have better things to do.

have seen someone report they had problem with Xbox games after downloading 2886769 update and problem only went away after they uninstalled the flash player update
