update problems

[Alan]

since we updated our computers and server with the new
security patch they seem to run really slowly. Loading
office is a nightmare and getting the machines to boot up
takes 35mins. IE also takes ages to load. Does anyone
have any suggestions.

I had the same problem but worse - it took almost 4 hours
for all system activity to drop off to the point where I
could uninstall KB835732. Afterward all worked well again
including the 4 other critical updates for this month. I
tried a second install of KB835732 with the same results.
As of 20 mins ago, windows update still lists KB835732 as
a critical update for this pc. MS has a problem that they
are not acknowledging as you can tell from all the posts
on this newsgroup!

Uninstall patch B835732. This patch kills many Win2K systems.

Have the same problem. How to uninstall? Even the control
is not populated after an hour.
Is there a short(fast) way to uninstall this path
B835732 ????

I found some hints from a UK guy who figured out how to get it removed
faster.

To unistall it, do the following
(1) Boot into Safe mode.
(2) Run TaskManager - and noticed that the SYSTEM process
was using 99% of the CPU time.
(3) From TaskManager set the Priority of the EXPLORER
process to REALTIME, so that I can get to the control
panel.
(4) Run ADD/REMOVE PROGRAM from control panel.
(5) Go back to TaskManager and set the Priority of
MSHTA.exe to REALTIME, so that the ADD/REMOVE PROGRAM can
get some CPU time.
(6) Select and Remove "Windows 2000 Hotfix - KB835732".
(7) Go back to TaskManager and set the Priority
of "SPUNIST.exe" to REALTIME, for the uninstall program
to
run.
(8) Wait a few minutes, and the uninstall program will
eventually ask you to click FINISH to reboot the machine.
It took a long time for the system to shutdown and I just
unplugged the power.
(9) The machine should become normal after reboot.
