Manually uninstalling windows updates

Hopefully someone can pont me in the right direction. I installed the latest
critical updates on a clients windows 2000 server running the latest service
pack . After the reboot, I can't seem to start certain services, I dont have
access to the web, but I can connect to another host using either T.S. or PC
Anywhere. There is nothing in the app. or system logs. I cant open add/remove
programs it just sits there no hour glass or anything. I suspect that one of
the updates with wrong and I'd like to know how to manually uninstall the
updates I applied earlier. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
