I appeared to also have similar problems. I could never get my Toshiba
laptop with XP home to boot up completely except in safe mode after
installing 828028. I then proceeded to a system restore before it was
installed and I could get it to boot up once. The next time it
wouldn't. I finally used add/remove to remove 828028 and I have gotten
two consecutive bootups without problem. Hopefully the problem is
solved now. I did not have any problem on my Dell desktop.
