Help! My computer is not running right after Aug 14th updates

I'm on windows XP pro. i let xp update before I left the office yesterday.
Came in today. My computer was super slow to boot to log-in, and terribly
slow to actually load windows. Once loaded, no office applications will open
properly, no network connections or drivers are loading, cant get to system,
cant launch system restore, cant launch services window.

I have already tried booting in safe mode and launching and deploying a
system restore, which was done successfully but after rebooting to normal
mode, I get the same result. All the updates have been removed.

I'm afraid I am going to have to restore windows, using the XP CD.

Any suggestions or fixes?

no need to reinstall XP. I have the same problem and - temporarily -
solved it by going back to the system restore assistant and changed
back the system to the state it was before. Will now trying to install
updates one by one to locate the bug.

Godd Luck!

Here's what we are doing after recent update-failure:
1. Click on Start and Run,
2. Type "REGSVR32 WUAPI.DLL" (without quotation marks) and press
Enter.
3. Should get the message "DllRegisterServer in WUAPI.DLL succeeded"
Click OK.
4. Repeat above for each of the following:

REGSVR32 WUAUENG1.DLL
REGSVR32 ATL.DLL
REGSVR32 WUPS2.DLL
REGSVR32 WUCLTUI.DLL
REGSVR32 WUPS.DLL
REGSVR32 WUWEB.DLL
REGSVR32 WUAUENG.DLL

5. Reboot

Now try to install your updates. Hope it fixes you guys' comps. like it has
ours. sdlomi2

same problem here as well, did as Dandy described BUT used reboot in safe
mode with administrator account then chose system restore and undid (only)
the cumulative update.

After that I installed the updates again but one by one with rebooting after
each one. Seems to work fine now.

cheers, Marc

I'm having the same problem. Processor utilization is near 100% or
quickly spikes to it when you open any application. IE is especially
bad.
I tried dandyvonberg's suggestion of rolling back with system
restore. Did not fix problem for me. That brings me to a related but
important question.

Does system restore really restore everything??? Or are certain
system files and/or bug fixes left in their current state?

By the way, has Microsoft published any info on this problem? From
what little I've researched, it seems to be affecting a lot of people.

Thank you,

Dave.

Egad! I have no suggestions for this time, but would highly
encourage you to immediately do two things when you're back
running: 1) STOP the auto updates! Set it to "notify but do not
download", then ALWAYS set your own RP, and 2) get a good imaging
utility such as Acronis True Image and periodically run a full
image backup of your system when it is running OK and you're sure
you're not infected with any malware (doesn't make sense to
backup a wounded system). Then, if lighting does strike along
with a visit from Murphy, as it sounds like it has for you, you
can restore from a FULL system backup and not spend days
rebuilding your system.

One other suggestion, if you are saving your data to C:\ I'd
suggest you build an extended partition for all of the stuff you
create. That separates your data from anything that goes bump in
the night with your system and vastly simplifies the task of
rebuilding without losing everything you've ever done. Along with
that, create a rigorous backup regiment to either optical or
external HD and be certain that ALL your data and your Windows
settings are preserved somewhere safe.

Good luck in fixing your PC!
