Really, never understimate people who have no clue when it comes to mess 
with computers. Some time ago, all it took to get a BSOD on my old laptop 
(that had been BSOD-free for years) was a friend of my wife, who wanted to 
chat on Yahoo and somehow managed to plug/unplug the modem at exactly the 
wrong moment. Not that they are guilty, but they do certain "dangerous" 
things that more geeky people wouldn't dare to.

BTW, was your Dad's Vista upgraded to SP1? Certain vendors were still 
selling machines with pre-SP1 Vista and I know from experience that it did 
have issues with automatic upgrades.
