Problem with automation & other program crashes after Update

3 days ago, I updated XP after being reminded by Automatic Windows Update.
Since then I have had problems. (Vversion is 5.1 Build 2600.xpsp2
030422-1633: Service Pack 1) - in addition to the XP update, I did an Office
XP update.

Programs that used to work crash in the beginning with a message - "This
program has been damaged, possibly by a bad sector of the hard drive or a
virus. Please reinstall it." The program has been reinstalled & works in
another machine, not just this one. Also, another program which
'automated' MS-Word (i.e. programmatically created a Word document) - no
longer works, i.e. Word does not start up with a message Server busy. - Word
starts up fine as a standalone program.

What can I do? I thought I could "undo" the XP update, but there is no
corresponding entry in Add/Remove programs for the 'critical updates' - the
ones that seem to have triggered the problem.

Any help will be sincerely appreciated - othewise I am looking up 2 - 4 days
of Backup, Reinstall Windows / all the applications, then the data etc..
 
Thanks

I got step by step help here - under another thread - "Rollback Service
Pack" & and got my problem - partially solved. Am working through the rest
