    After installing the latest windows update and restarting my machine just crashes and restarts this has happened the 2 times I've downloaded the update.

    Running Windows XP Home Edition
    Amd Athlon 1 gig
    128 RAM



    Any one offer help ?
    Apart from switch to Linux which I intend to do soon.

    Can you boot into Safe Mode and uninstall the fix?
