W2K update results in system process @ 96% CPU

Alex

I just installed the latest updates from the MS UPDATE
site:Successful Wednesday, April 14, 2004 Security Update
for Microsoft Data Access Components (KB832483) Web site
Successful Wednesday, April 14, 2004 Security Update for
Windows 2000 (KB835732) Web site
Successful Wednesday, April 14, 2004 Security Update for
Windows 2000 (KB828741) Web site
Successful Wednesday, April 14, 2004 Security Update for
Windows 2000 (KB837001) Web site
Successful Wednesday, April 14, 2004 Critical Update for
Internet Explorer 6 Service Pack 1 (KB831167) Web site
Successful Wednesday, April 14, 2004 Cumulative Security
Update for Outlook Express 6 Service Pack 1 (KB837009) Web
site

After re-boot I cannot do anything at all: the system
process dominates 96% of CPU at all times and does not
stop for hours already. Anybody, any ideas?

I restarted after the last update finished downloading
this morning and my computer keeps rebooting itslelf. I
cant even start it with the w2k cd or in safe mode. I am
really angry...what the heck are we supposed to do?
Someone help me please! I cant even get it started to
reinstall anything. Email me if you have any help! Thanks!

same here.
trying to uninstall updates, but this could take days.

I will be soooooooooo glad when the last important application that I need
goes to Linux. When that happens, I will never touch this POS operating
system
again.

I havent had a problem w/W2K before...I have used it for 4
years. But the problem is now I cant even start it up to
uninstall anything! It just keeps rebooting itself. Not
even with the w2k cd or in safe mode. I dont know what to
do with it. Is MSN planning on some kind of fix? How can I
fix this...I am no expert and I dont think I should have
to pay to have someone fix a problem cause by msn.

I just had exactly the same thing happen to me this morning. My
situation is a little different in that I updated two different Win2K
Servers and one works fine and the other has the process iisrstas.exe
using 100% CPU.

Alex, can you please check your Task Manager/Processes tab and see what
process is using up all your CPU?

After some detective work I found out that a fair amount
of people had similar problem with patch KB835732. I just
un-instaleed it, re-booted machine and everything is back
to normal. Try un-installing this patch. BTW, my process
was System with PID 8. Cheers.

I have now uninstalled all of these updates and I still have this
problem. So at this point I am stuck and don't know what to do next.
