Was getting this problem with updating the 4 previous critical updates for
win xp before service pack 2 and now getting it again with sp2.

Here is the problem (before xp2) windows does not boot up after 24 hours of
installing previous 4 critical updates, seems to get stuck whilst loading in
the keyboard and cant load in mouse driver, hence no boot up. However boots
in safe mode. found that if i deleted keyboard and started up again normally
it booted. it would do this infrequently. sorted it by uninstalling 4 updates.

Now i find i have the same problems as well as slow loading times for xp to
boot up, sometimes as long as 2 minutes. Bought a new keyboard in case old
one was ghoosed, fixed it sort of now it only does on every 2nd boots. have
to manually restart machine and tell it to load windfows normally, which then
corrupts display(big horrible black lines), restart the machine again and
they vanish leaving normal display. the display corruption has only started
happening with new keybord failing to load. only started doing this today and
instaled sp2 on saturday without a hitch. had to install the 4 previous
security updates mentioned in above paragraph before sp 2. im guessing one
of these is interfering with keyboard in some way. any help would be greatly
apprciated.
