how to uninstall security updates TA 4/24/2007 3:32:01 AM Downloaded several Microsoft security updates. In the middle of the update downloads the system crashed. How should I proceed to remove the updates. I can go into safe mode to find the log but I don't know how to uninstall the updates. The computer will start up & displays all icons but only getting the hourglass figure when trying to click on anything. Essentially the computer is locked up. I've erased all the Temp files but new ones keep populating the temp files folder. I also deleted cookies & ofline content under internet options. Please help. Thanks.

It is the same screen you use to get Safe Mode. "TA" <TA[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:45989697-446A-4ABE-8542-111457BB8709[ at ]microsoft.com...

Re: how to uninstall security updates TA 4/24/2007 5:18:01 AM Thanks for the idea - that was my 1st move. I tried that immediately after the freeze up but it unfortunately didn't work. I also tried to restore the system as of a date I knew was good but that didn't work either.

Re: how to uninstall security updates TA 4/24/2007 5:20:02 AM After dumping my temp folder several times & clearing my cookies & deleting offline content the Last Known Good Configuration worked. Thanks for helping out. I guess if you don't succeed try & try again. Thanks buddy.

Re: how to uninstall security updates "Charlie Russel - MVP" <charlie[ at ]mvKILLALLSPAMMERSps.org> 4/24/2007 2:05:03 PM Actually, it's probably the cleaning out as much as anything. I'd take a good snapshot before you add the updates again. -- Charlie. http://msmvps.com/blogs/xperts64 "TA" <TA[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:F1A0DE70-B823-4E5B-822B-D7B7E0E4D7AA[ at ]microsoft.com...

Re: how to uninstall security updates "Colin Barnhorst" <colinbarharst(remove)[ at ]msn.com> 4/24/2007 8:03:50 PM No, it worked for me after an Avast update screwed up windows explorer to the point it kept breaking. This was just yesterday. I had logged in a number of times before resorting to LKGC. LKGC still resolved the issue satisfactorily. -- Colin Barnhorst MVP Virtual Machine "Charlie Russel - MVP" <charlie[ at ]mvKILLALLSPAMMERSps.org> wrote in message news:AC8F7377-035D-436C-A0A3-C2D102E7A1AD[ at ]microsoft.com...
