update and install

We've had a problem with install updates and shut down. Now 2 of our
computers are not starting back up - what is going on? Is anyone else having
this problem

1) Which edition of Windows and what Service Pack level are they on ?

2) If these were *Security* updates, MS offers *** no charge *** support
for resolving issues associated with their installation:

" Support is available by calling 1-866-PCSAFETY in the United States
and Canada or by contacting your local Microsoft subsidiary. For more
information about how to contact your local Microsoft subsidiary for

North American customers can also obtain instant access to unlimited
no-charge e-mail support or to unlimited individual chat support by
visiting the following Microsoft Web site:

*STRONGLY* suggest that you contact MS so that they are made aware of
*any* issues resulting from this month's round of Sec updates !

yep - my son has just called to ask me to check out the forum. He left his XP
laptop installing the security updates on shutdown and now can't get it to
start up again in any mode.
