Well your problem is apparently the updates you installed. You
don't say which you installed.
Don't EVER install more than one update at a time. As I always
say; any ONE update can bring a PC to a screeching halt with
problems they can cause, and auto updates is a bad idea.
Hopefully you only installed one, and it has an uninstaller so
it can be removed. (That's why I always post those Secunia
updates because you can read ALL about the updates at the M$
security bulletin page to see if you even need it, and if it
can be uninstalled).
You apparently also don't use ERUNT, something I always "preach
about". ;-) It will save your butt.
So first you need to uninstall the update(s). Then after that
try again to do a restore to before they where installed. Then
if that doesn't fix it, let us know. If it does fix it,
disable auto updates and do your research into the updates that
are available to see if you actually NEED them, and then,
install ERUNT.

Hi,
I have a Dell Latitude 600 notebook, running XP Professional,
SP3. The other day I downloaded Windows automatic updates, the
next day I noticed that my computer was running incredibly
slow. When I say slow, I mean that commands that used to take
seconds, now take several minutes. I tried to go back to
several previous restore points, but kept getting the message
that Windows could not go back to that restore point. I looked
at the Defrag analysis, and the hard drive did not appear to be
severely defragmented. I ran AVG and it did not detect any
viruses. Can anyone suggest how I can get my computer back up
to speed?
Thanks,
jim
