Reboot and hit f8 - then choose "last known good configuration" from the screen - you may need to do this once or twice.

I don't know what I'm trying to do at this point. The system resources are all used up so I can't really do anything
(hell the desktop icons and taskbars vanished).
I'll keep trying to uninstall the updates.
Of course we have backups of all our work...but there is a hell of a lot of configuring to do to get it back up and
running if I format c:\ Time to get Ghost ;-)

So, you are trying to stop McAffee? I would think you could remove it from
the registry(in the Run area) then reboot, right?

Arrrrghhhhh.....I try and end processes running under the "System" username
and all I get is access denied!!! I'm in as the Administrator!!!
It's just getting worse....now CPU is done to 2-4% but anything I try and run
says "can't be done...not enough resources" and RAM is in good shape!!!
If I could just get Add/Remove Programs to run I could uninstal the updates
from yesterday...but NOOOooOOoo
Oh well.....time to go find a nice quiet place to shoot myself ;-)
Cheers

Yes, As I understand, McAffee still uses a 16 bit scanning engine - and as a
result really slows down some system. So much so, that it has caused many
to
abandon the product for a more efficient one.
Don't hold me to this, as I abandoned McAffee back in the Win98SE days for
that
reason

A place to start:
Start looking for 16 bit versions of applications that are running.
Such as
A/V
scanners, software firewalls, etc. Most running processes are running
under a
system account, so it is time consuming to isolate the offending
application.
Next try disabling processes running under "system" one at a time with
the
CPU
monitor running and observe which one(s) make a big difference.
Sometimes a
re-install of that particular application will do the trick, but most
will
require upgrading to a 32 bit version of the process.
In my case, I had to update the F-PROT scan engine to a 32 bit version
and
that
solved the runaway issue.
Good luck!

Hey All,
We applied the latest round or about 5 security updates to our Win2K
Advanced Server yesterday and then all hell broke loose.
It now takes about 10-15 minutes to get to the desktop, then another
15 or
so before SQL Server and a few other services get running....CF
service
never started in that time so I went in and set it to a manual start
(trying
to free up resources).
Basically, the "System" process (not System Idle Process) is taking up
all
the CPU time...occasionally letting go for a few seconds.
Being that the system moves SO slow it's tough to check things to try
and
diagnose...so I'm here asking for help ;-)
Any..and I do mean ANY advice would be great
TIA
Cheers
