recent update messed with wordpad

winXP SP3

Todays update screwed with my WordPad. Everytime I
opened a doc file, I would see all the hidden code and
markups. When I tried to save a .doc file, I would get
an error -- an error has occurred and unable to save.
If I saved it as .rtf [or any other] then its fine. I
used system restore and went back to yesterday and
everything is fine again.

Anyone know which of these updates would cause this
problem?:

Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer 8 for
Windows XP (KB976325)
Update for Windows XP (KB970430)
Update for Windows XP (KB971737)
Security Update for Windows XP (KB974318)
Security Update for Windows XP (KB974392)
Update for Windows XP (KB955759)
Security Update for Windows XP (KB973904)
Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool - December 2009
(KB890830)

Thanks
