system becomes unresponsive with Windows Update service running

Does anyone else suffer from this? This is the second Windows XP x86 PC that
has suffered the problem for me. Article 927891 solved the problem with the
first PC but fails to resolve it for the second pc. Patch installs OK and
Windows Update Agent (WUA) 3.0 is already installed. System runs fine when
service is disabled.

You're not alone. I have a PC running on Intel with no problem, but my Pc
running on AMD Athlon 64 3500+ mobo Gigabyte GA-K8NXP-9 has had this problem
for over a week. I also have had to disable the service.
