Issue after Windows Update 8/15 (NUP.SYS?)

[Guest]

Since installing the updates 8/15/05 via Windows Update(including
KB8966727,KB890830) we are experiencing very strange behaviour on our Windows
2000 (SP4) Server w/ Exchange SP3 (and additional software)

I.Explorer no longer works, cannot view/configure network connections (in
Network Settings/ or IE network connections), Exchange Managment service
hangs on start, and - to make matters worse - removal of hotfixes hangs on
'inspecting config', as does running Service packs for W2K/Exchange

Cannot boot into Safe Mode, or Safe Mode with Networking - hangs on loading
NUP.sys

I really need, and would appreciate some help!! Many thanks in advance...

Steve
