Since ALLOWING my system to download and install the latest Windows
update two days ago, I have been experiencing freezing and crashing of
Windows Explorer. Also Windows Media Player seems very sluggish when
loading media files.

The behavior of both apps has changed CONSIDERABLY since the update.

I have done nothing else to the computer or WIndows XP Pro SP2.

Any ideas?

THhnks,

Greg
 
I have been allowing window updates to be dl'd and installed sice that
applications inception. I have never had an indication of a problem or
anything else after doing so. Millions of other have had the same experience
with MS downloads. The overwhelming evidence suggests that you have a
problem elsewhere.
Start by checking your cache, IE temps and similar well know thingf that cause
your indicated problems. Google is a first class place to start looking for
answers.
 
I've never had any problems with Windows update either over the years.
This is a new machine with a fresh install of WinXP Pro, so there is not
yet a lot of other apps installed yet.

Before updating I cleared caches, history, turned off anti-virus, etc. etc.

Also, this latest update is not showing up in Add/Remove programs.

I may try to revert back to pre-update and see if the behavior changes.

Thanks,

Greg
