Windows XP will not shut down after latest security patches instal

Only July 15 I installed patches KB890830, KB916595, KB914388 and KB917159.
The install was successful, but the required reboot failed. It hangs on the
shut down. I can only shut it down by powering it off. I have an IBM
Thinkpad running Windows XP Fix Pack 2 and have been keeping up with the
fixes.

I had the same thing happen to me on the same day but only had 3 updates. I
removed them but the problem persisted. I tried to roll back to a previous
restore point but the system wouldn't allow it. I restored the OS image and
I will see how things go??? I have an N6220 Lifebook from Fujitsu.

I had that problem with the kb917537 patch. Fixed it by downloading the
patch from microsoft.com and installing it in safe mode.
