Windows Update, now my computer does not boot.

[Karl]

I installed all the current service packs and patches on
Windows Update. Now my computer can't get through the
boot sequence.

Help! F8, Del, Esc or any keys can't get to any other
screen.

Karl;
Reboot tapping F8 each second.
Choose "Last known good configurtion"
If that fails, perform a Repair Installation.

Windows Updates will need to be reinstalled.
Install Service Pack first and by itself.
Then install ALL Critical Updates no more than 4 at a time,

Disconnect the network/modem cable before starting repair and do NOT
reconnect the cable until repair is completed and

firewall is installed/enabled.
