Identifying recently installed updates XP

I have a friend who's having trouble with his network connection
following the most recent Patch Tuesday.

I would like to know if there's any easy way to find out what updates
were installed recently using just the machine, he can't get on the
Internet.

Windows Vista includes a basic list with dates in the Windows Updates
utility. Is there something like this for XP?

Open Windows Update.
On the left side click "View Installation history"

view the Update log in Windows:-

Click Start, and then click Run.
In the Open box, type: %windir%\windowsupdate.log
and then click OK.

Go to the end and work your way back.

Also check add/remove programs to see what was recently installed (make sure you have view
updates checked).
