Happened to my parents computer. And since I was home for the summer I was put on internet-support duty. Drove me crazy trying to find what the problem was, and eventually I just gave up. It fixed itself a few days later though with autoupdates :)

When you wish upon a falling star, your dreams can come true. Unless it's really a meteorite hurtling to the Earth which will destroy all life. Then you're pretty much hosed no matter what you wish for. Unless it's death by meteor.
