Windows Update messed up my computer. Help!?

I ran Windows Update on my XP Professional platform today, which included security updates for Windows Media Player 9. After restarting my computer with the updates, I found that WMP no longer works. I get the message "%1 is not a valid win32 application." In addition, America Online 9.0 is giving me annoying messages saying "Bad image" and something about incompatible .dll files. My antivirus and spyware are up to date, so I'm almost certain Windows Update messed up my comp. How do I fix this?

Control Panel %26gt; Add remove programs and remove the update (make sure you check the box at top "show updates"
Well, if you know exactly what it (Windows Update) downloaded and updated, you can probably just uninstall those updates. However, if you don't know exactly what was done, you could just do a system restore back to the previous good restore point.



Good luck.
