IMHO, it sounds like it's too late to do anything now.
You could try -
Windows Update newsgroup:
(OE newsreader)
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof....windowsupdate
or
(Web)
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/e...&lang=en&cr=US
But if it was my computer, I would cut my losses and start over. The damage
is done.
