re: Windows XP locks up upon logon after Automatic Update Thursday, December 5, 2002 at 10:29 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Tom Swanson (5553 messages posted) Suggest restoring your OS to a date/time before the update. If you started an update and it got interupted, you likely are not going to fix it any other way. You might reconsider using automatic update. I would rather see what's going on, even from MS.
