Well, someone here had the same problem with the Microsoft download of a couple of weeks ago. The ease of usability of XP made it so you could just go to system restore and choose the date that you wanted it to go back to. That did the trick and then I turned off the automatic update thing.

Wow, it's unanimous!  I guess I've got my answer.  Vickie, I downloaded
an update from Microsoft one time (with Windows 98), and it rendered my
system completely useless ... I had to reformat the entire hard drive
while waiting for my trans company's IT department to set me up again.
What a nightmare.  That should have been my answer there.  My roommate
and I are on a network, and she has Win XP, and I sooooooo hate it, but
I guess it's time to get with it.  I'll be saying hello to 2005 here
pretty soon.
