I can certainly get behind that; there are times when I'm troubleshooting a problem when I reach a point I stop caring about the exact cause of the problem and just want it to go away.

I hear that. I got over that about a week after I started working on computers.

Archive and install and combo updaters fix a world of hurt not worth tracking down. The trick is to get a feel for when a general fix is a time saver... will it take less of my time (of actual hands-on-the-computer) than the fix, and what are the odds that it fixes it.
