Thanks Mark...but it's all solved now (removed updates while in safe mode).

I did try that, but there was only 1 profile to pick from and it sure didn't work ;-)

  Bryan,

  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 ;-)

        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

          Oh ya Doug...

          Isn't F-PROT to do with virus scanning??  I've seen an alert about McAfee
        mabye not having all of the right stuff installed....guess that might be
      that
        bad guy??

            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!

              Subject: SOT: Latest Windows Updates

              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
