Reload W2k Again-----

Dex's comment on "Reload" led me to a clean copy of my Drivers CD. W2k re-re-instal then ran OK. Loaded SP3 & 4, AVG, Zonealram, B/band Modem then IE6. All OK. AVG scan fine. ie STAGE 1 complete Then hit by 65 Windows updates to download and instal. took hours at 5Mbs! At the end, after restart all hell let loose. Icons on d/top would open, not drag. The modem and Zonealarm could not be accessed. opened Programs and found a blank page, add/remove programs blank, and so on. No virus, but RegCure found 447 errors, treatment did not help. A total pig's breakfast, ---with apologies to pigs. Now back at STAGE 1 again all OK. Found SP4 v2. Is there an update of SP4 v2? Anymore ways to void 65 updates? I did discover Unofficial SP5.1, but could not run it. Need to make a special CD I think--a bit beyond me. Any ideas welcome!
