i installed SP4 last week - no visble probs there. However, after installing the last 2 critical updates yesterday (Q818529 & Q823559) from the Windows Update site, and rebooting, the Add/Remove Programs in Ctrl Panel are not accessible in any way - just a blank white box.
Additionally, all the normal Windows icons that appear when clicking >Start now have an icon that is not its correct one - ie they refer randomly to any other program i have & not necessariyl to a Windows prog.
Additionally, IE & OE are totally inaccessible, i.e. completely non-startable via any shortcut or *.exe file.
The error message that occurs when trying to start Add/Remove Programs is as follows:-
" Object doesn't support this property or method.
res://sp3res.dll/default.hta line 82 "
Therefore, it is not possible to either install, reinstall, or uninstall these 2 critcal updates or SP4 or any other program.
All ideas are welcome!
