Updates causing PC freeze...

Hello.

PC system info:

- Windows ME
- 56K Dialup


I've downloaded/installed twice the recommended Microsoft updates. Both
times the computer would freeze up as it was
opening up windows and the programs that are in the start/task bar. I
couldn't close anythiing and had to manually restart the
PC numerous times - always the same result.

Both times the PC had to be restored to an earlier date to remedy the
situation. Having restored to a date prior to the
updates, I'm not sure the PC is currently "updated".

Any idea what could be causing the freeze up?

Following is the list of recommended updates that were downloaded/installed
on (8.07.2005 & 8.12.2005):
