Update Problem Solution For Fellow Idiots

[umybossa]

1) Put the Windows 2000 Pro CD in and reboot.
(To boot from CDROM you have to enter the bios on boot
up. "Change First Boot Device" from floppy to CDROM save
change and exit bios.)
2) Boot from the CD.("Boot from CDROM" propmt will appear,
for me hitting any key worked to select "Boot From CDROM")
3) Choose Repair installation when prompted
4) Choose Repair from console
5) I now got this prompt "Which Windows 2000 installation
would you like to log onto". I entered "1" and got a
prompt for administrator password, I just hit enter
without typing a password.
You should now see "C:\WINNT>"
6) At this point typing exactly what is in the quote marks
worked for me "cd $NtUninstallKB835732$\spuninst"
7) Next enter the command in quotes "Batch spuninst.txt"
8) It may say access denied and that files are being
copied.
9) When it's finished, reboot, and allow Windows to load.
10) Uninstall the update (for good!) from Add/Remove
Programs in the Control Panel.

I hope this is of some help, It worked for me. Good luck.

I tried this and it has not made any diffrence. I have
checked and since the update all the machines that have
taken the update take 30 mins to boot up. They were
starting within 1-2 mins before. does anyone have any
suggestions??

Thanks

I uninstalled my KB835732 update directly using Add/Remove
Software in the Control Panel. After reboot, everything
had been returned back to "normal" (ie. no huge delays on
my system).

Maybe this would work for you, if you PC gets up to the
stage where you can use Control Panel?
