Re: Reboot problem with updates - solution

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

I encountered this problem with 4 computers out of 30 all are windows
xp SP2. KB890859 and KB893066 will remain off of my systems for
now...... By the way a complete reinstall or in place upgrade is NOT
necessary

Simply reboot to recovery console via the Windows disk and run the
batch files in the c:\windows\$NtUninstallKB890859$\spuninst directory
Change the directory for KB893066 accordingly. This solved the problem
for me.....
