Unstable update cue

[Mike Riley]

A few weeks ago I clicked yes to a W2K security update prompt. Immediately
afterwards, when I rebooted, the process got only so far, before my computer
restarted itself. This happened just once. Since then Wndows has sort of
been behaving itself, except that I keep getting security prompts and when I
click yes, I then get a message saying no updates are available. All in all,
the system feels unstable.

The problematic update was probably "Critical Update for Office 2003
(943452)". By the way, when I try go into he control panel, to try to
uninstall this update, it isn't listed.

Any suggestions, anyone?

Hit F8 while booting (just after the bios message but before the OS loads)
then opt for Last Good Configuration

If your system is ok...be sure to exclude that update in the future
