Add/ Remove Programs- WIN2kSP-3

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win2000.setup_upgrade (More info?)

After installing critical updates from Windows 2000 Dnld
site, Add/Remove Programs is unable to launch. It worked
fine until after reboot, but since there were 26 updates
in the package, I don't know which one is suspect, and
most of them are irreversible. Would like to repair this
problem without starting over since everything else is
fine. Can find no other problems with system other than
Add/ Remove programs being inaccessable.

OS- Win 2000 Pro SP-3 with 02/04 Security CD installed
