performance after updating

[babalooi]

The performance of win xp after going through updating on
the windows update site is absolutely unexceptable. What
the heck can I do to stop this sluggish behaviour? It
never happened before updating. Everytime I click on
something, and it don't matter what it is, on the
desktop, in the toolbar, the start menu, anything, there
is a looooong pause before anything happens. Man this is
terrible, what can I do? All I did was update sheesh.

Someone please assist me here huh thanks

The issue seems to be a conflict with Windows Update 811493 and
antivirus applications.
Similar issues reported with McAfee, Norton, EZ Trust and possibly
others.
Here are a few basic ideas (some seem to have solved the issue for
some people)
Uninstall 811493 from Control Panel Add/Remove Programs.
Is performance back to normal?
Update antivirus
Reboot.
Disable everything especially antivirus before installing (SOP for
installations).
Ensure AV Autoprotect is disabled.
Reinstall 811493.
Reboot.
Try computer again.

Microsoft has stated they are working on the cause, so hopefully we
will get some definitive solution real soon.

These newsgroups are full of messages detailing a problem with the current
"811493" update causing slowdowns on the system. Go to Add and Remove
Software in Control Panel and uninstall this update.

As a bit of a kludge, I've found that about 80% of the
time my apps launch immediately after I've called up the
task manager (CTRL-ALT-DEL). No idea why this works.
Nevertheless, I'll probably remove the patch if MS
doesn't post a new one within a few days.

Thank you all very much for your replies. I searched and
searched for the problem in this message base, but I
guess I didn't put in the precise search criteria to find
it. I will immediately uninstall this update. Thanks
again.

I did that, but it did not help. In my case
the slowness (caused by the "system" process
taking 40-50% of CPU) does not appear until
after my nightly system tasks kick in. One
night I turned one off (a small backup of
a network drive) and the problem did not happen.

Is a system restore the only other option?

Ronnie,

I can't because I don't have an uninstall for 811493. Here's
the story.

On my system, the 811493 update had problems during its
installation. I don't remember having any problems when I
installed it, but it was long enough ago that I don't remember
all the details. I only know there were problems because I
just found what appears to be a log file that was generated
during the 811493 upgrade. It appears to be have been
partially installed but failed when upgrading some DLLs
or possibly some registry entries. It did not leave an
uninstall script where all the other uninstall scripts are
located. When I contact microsoft's upgrade website, it
says that I've already installed 811493. It won't let me
re-install it. And I don't have any way to uninstall it. (Well,
I could painstakingly examine the install log it left behind
and manually copy DLLs, fix registry entries, etc. But I
don't have the patience to do that! )

I'm surprised that a MS patch could fail in such a way that
it commits only some of the changes it intended to make.
I would have thought that a well-written install process
would roll everything back to where it was if any error
occurred.

Sigh.

Please explain: "when I contact ms upgrade wesite it says I've already
installed 811493. It won't let me re-install it."
Can you search for 811493 and download it?
