finally worked out last night that this was my problem.

after this, i installed all the other updates KB911567, KB912812, KB911562
and KB890830 seperately and my pc is ok.

If KB908531 was installed my pc was very slow and I couldn't get any
networking features to work. Then I would get a message that windows
firewall was corrupt.

Anyway, just to let you know that I haven't got any HP software installed on
my pc.

my windows ver is: 5.1 (build 2600.xpsp_sp2_gdr.050301-1519:service pack 2)
with office XP....

Isn't it about time Microsoft put up their hand and admitted that THEY have
got it wrong here?????

There are thousands of people complaining about this update,here we are told
blame HP software..................then they suggest editing the
registry.......VERY bad advice for those that are not suitably experienced or
qualified!

Microsoft support on the other hand are saying "Sorry,remove the update for
now".
Reading around the variouis sites it is VERY clear that this update has
caused major problems with software from MANY different companies and WINDOWS
XP and its integral components FAIL with this update.

There are many responses from users thst definitely DO NOT use or have HP on
their systems and even if they had, the updates from Microsoft SHOULD NOT
cause these problems...............your security flaw,your update ,up to you
to correct it.
