That article does not relate because the system would not boot up. However,
after performing another system restore on the computer and installing XP
SP2, the system is working fine now.

I have no "lack of knowledge" on this except for keeping the automatic
updates disabled. If I disable it and check it later, the automatic updates
are enabled again. Now it does not matter because I installed XP SP2 and
got around the incompatibility and conflict issues.
