Oliver,
As a possible solution, please refer to the following post from S. Sengupta:
------------------------------------------
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/e...57a&sloc=en-us
1.Click Start, and then either click Control Panel, or point to Settings
and then click Control Panel.
2.Double-click Add or Remove Programs.
3.Click Add/Remove Windows Components.
4.Scroll down the list of components to Update Root Certificates, and
make sure the check box for that component is cleared.
5.Follow the instructions to complete the Windows Components Wizard.
-------------------------------------------
Please note: I haven't followed the above steps myself (because system
restore fixed the problem for me) so I do not know what the outcome will be.
This method may just be a way to prevent automatic updating of the root
certificates...
As an added follow-up, I have experienced the same symptoms Oliver has
described each time I try to install the root certificates update from
windows update (and subsequently do a system restore to restore
functionality). I am unable to use Microsoft Outlook (doesn't load or
display), shutting down takes an extremely long time, and McAfee Security
Center does not open and display, nor does Webroot SpySweeper. At first, I
thought maybe the problem was caused by my security software being
overprotective during the update, so I tried disabling both of them during a
fresh download from Windows Update, but the problems still occured after
reboot. Only way I was able to get back to "normal" was through system
restore.
