I had already installed the new update agent and the KB927891 patch

setting the display back to normal last nite...and update hangs
again. The only way update works is with 640x480 - 256 colors. The
onboard video is an Intel 82810e...

I expect that this video system steals RAM from the system memory to use as
video RAM. If so, it will steal a different amount of RAM for each
resolution, thus causing Windows components to load at different absolute
addresses for the different video resolutions.

This suggests that you might have faulty RAM hardware, and it is affecting
Windows differently according to video resolution.

I suggest that you try running a vigorous RAM test.
