I just read this article http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/8388253.stm
which explains what happened to my computer 3 days ago. It just would not
boot up after shuting off the computer. The system kicked into the black
option screen where I selected to let Windows run a [forget the wording]
restore function. It finally did restore the system. I thought it was
caused by the automatic Sun Java update that I allowed to be installed just
before that happened.

Any more information on this that you all know about?

My computer is a Vista Home Premium with MS Live One Care, core 2 duo HP
6000.

Your issue sounds slightly different.

The 'Black Screen of death' issue desribed in that article, from what I've
seen, is a replacement of the logon shell (which is normally 'explorer.exe')
with another shell, whereas yours (from what you've said) was an inability
to boot up at all.

Both 'black operations' of some sort though, if you can excuse the pun.

It's a curious and still developing story....

MS are not to blame.
