Error after installing KB956841

Hello,

I'm from Germany, so don't expect perfect english

I've got a problem on a brand-new computer:
# Core2Duo E7300
# 2GB DDR2-800 (2x1GB) Hynix
# Foxconn G31M
# Onboard VGA (Intel GMA 3100)
# LAN Onboard
# 160GB WD Caviar Blue
# Samsung DVD-RW
# FSP 350W PSU
# Windows XP Pro SP3 including nearly every Update

The Update for the virtual address descriptor seems to damage essential,
system-critical files, such as ntoskrnl.exe or ntfs.sys. After installing
that update, the computer won't start after a reboot and gives out the
message, that a file ist either missing oder damaged. The message also tells
me to try to replace it from the Windows XP CD, I tried that but it doesn't
solve the problem.

The only solution to recover the system seems to be a repair-installation.

The hardware works stable, there are no errors on the harddisk (tested with
SpinRite 6) and also the memory is 100% functional (tested with memtest86+,
more than 10 passes).

Is this an OEM or self built system?

What is the installed security software [antivirus/security
suite/anti-malware/anti-spyware/cookie/popup blocker] ?
