Slow Startup After 2-13-08 Windows Updates - Vista Business

After performing several updates yesterday my vista machine has gone from
powerhouse to super-slow. It was starting up from boot to logon in less than
2 minutes. Now it will start sit on a black screen for 5-6 minutes and then
slowly piece by piece load the start up screen - upon logging in the screen
will sit blank for a minute and then slowly load the interface. Windows
Messenger will load and sign in - and then loose its connection and resign
back in. If I open IE7 the screen will load the page but show the thinking
circle for about 1 minute.

This has all just happened after Windows Update installed the updates
released yesterday. Any ideas?

So essentially from boot to being able to use IE7 is about 8-10 minutes;
when it was less than 3 minutes.

explorer starts no programs like messenger and others from the current
user are started, also, i've tryed to see a movie and media player only
displays a black screen with the sound. I've reinstaled display drivers
and reversed to the normal windows theme but the same is hapenning. I
would love if someone had a solucion for this problem that doesn´t pass
