Hi Pszemol.

I thought you'd enjoy this. I needed to install Cisco VPN and Windows
updates, so I figure "Hey, we live in the 21st Century and concurrency
issues are now rudimentary and easy to handle. Surely Microsoft has
this under control."

Long story short, I did both simultaneously, hit reboot, and Windows is
now trashed complaining that it can't find Explorer.exe. Oops. I
haven't reinstalled XP on this box in the last 18 months, so I might as
well start with a clean slate.

Well, not really clean, this is windows after all. But, a fresh install
at least. Wish me luck.

Kurt,
Yeah the wonders of windows - at one point I attempted to do something
similar to what you mention (fortunately it was only on a VMware
server)...yeah...DID NOT work...similar issue to yours, although as I
recall it wasn't explorer.exe since i was able to boot up still...set
back UAT a good 3 days while I futzed with it though.
