I attempted to execute MS Security Update KB832483 (Data
Access componnts)and the process stalled at the end of the
download and before the install phase. I could do nothing
to get rid on the installer window so I tried to logoff and
restart the computer. The 'shutting down' screen appears
but then nothing happens again. I had to pull the power
plug and start over. I have to do it (but holding the
on/off button)all the time now!!!

I have tried to 'roll back' but this fails, probably
because WIN XP will not terminate itself properly.

Does anybody know what might have happened or what I can do
about it. I could reload the O/S of course but I thought
XP was immune against this sort of thing.
