Real headache over the weekend.. Could some one be of an assistance
please.

Had hardware failure - memory related over the weekend - recovered in the
end as I took out one of the memory sets and ran on just the one whilst
waiting for the part.

Whilst doing that , Dell recommended installing this KB microsoft fix
through their automated PC check up utility.

Once done, none of Windows Explorer, Internet Explorer, MyCOmputer or
Control Panel worked. Also the Microsoft Update stopped working.

Tried to XP Repair but no good. Uninstalled IE7 and reinstalled. No
good..

Disabled Norton Anti Virus software services no joy.

Started in Safe Mode with Networking - Works fine !!!

Wat tha ?? I can not get at the KB fix name as CONTROl PANEl does not
work
any more.

When I double on any of the utilities mentioned , The screen just
refreshes
the icons and task tray and zilch ...

So, how did you uninstall IE7 then if you cannot get to control Panel
without any command from the run command on CMD command prompt?.
Does this happen in logged in Safe Mode?, try and see if you can access
the
Control panel.
Why you didn't Restore to an earlier date before the Update took place?.
Here a similar scenario like yours, see if it will help you, also read the
command to access the control panel, the Internet options and so on..

HTH.
