IIS4 not responding after security update.

[Gavin Landon]

Title: Win 98 SAFE MODE

We have an old IIS4 box that we still have ppl hosted on, because that is what they perfer.   We went to http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com and it said we were missing a critical update.  We went ahead and told it to upate the box, but after the update completed, I noticed a DOS window that would not close.   It stayed up for at least 20 minutes.  I finally closed the dialog and the machine wanted to reboot.  I told it yes, but then the machine went blank (green screen), but didn't reboot.   I then had to hard boot it..  Now it seems IIS4 is not responding to the point I can't even go into MMC.   Websites are down and we can't seem to get it up and running again.   Everything except the webserver is working.   Any clues to what was hung up and how we can fix this problem?   If we reinstall IIS4, we would have to reinstall the SP's and the security patches..  Will this happen again, or was that just a fluke?
