Problems with last weeks critical updates.

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.basics (More info?)

Not with my Roxio, but I did have Publisher ask to reinstall itself (or part
of itself) upon start up yesterday...no other problems found.

Hi Brian,
If it was me I would uninstall the lastest updates then reinstall them one
at a time with at least a day inbetween each one until you find the one that
is causing this.
