WinXP keeps freezing/crashing after last night's automatic Windows Update & Restart - please help

Thanks, will do. I'm using VirtualBox.

I'd also do a virus scan on the restored VM before I did the updates. I
have the MS security essentials on my XP VM.

Liar.

Ah, the broken record tactic that you're so famous for.

That I might believe. You're a Win-droid, after all.

Bugger off, Win-droid troll.
No.

This is a Linux newsgroup.

You don't use Ubuntu, "an African word, meaning "Slackware is too hard
for me" so what are YOU doing here besides peeking at headers and being
a one trick pony?

WinXP keeps freezing/crashing today after last night's automatic Windows
Update & Restart.
I was using MS Excel when the system crashed. Then, after restarting,
it froze after opening a TIFF file.

Any ideas?

Constructive posts will be much appreciated.

Open the EXCEL file with libreOffice (or openoffice), load it as a
portable apps if you don't already use it.

No, that's easy to accomplish, just don't turn on the computer.
