I also got my system back by restoring it to a point prior to the updates. I
then went and read the update descriptions and tried again by leaving the
Outlook 2003 Junk e-mail filter update off and the other 7 my system called
for;

KB905474
KB914389
KB911280
KB917334
KB890830
KB917953
KB916518
KB918439

Some of these are for Office 2003 applications. Everything seems to run but
I haven't got to use each of them them extensively.

I had a similar problem. After putting on the security updates last night,
Outlook 2007 Beta would not open correctly, showing this error: "Either there
is no default mail client or the current mail client cannot fulfill the
messaging request. Please run Microsoft Office Outlook and set it as the
default mail client."

I am running IE7 Beta and Microsoft Office 2007 Beta.

In Add or Remove Programs, I uninstalled these patches:
917334 Word, 917953 TCP/IP, restart
918439 ART Image Rendering, 911280 Routing and Remote Access, restart
914389 SMB restart

But none of that fixed it.

I then ran System Restore to a System Checkpoint from 6-12 and that fixed it.

I think it has something to do with the recent updates. But I have never
updated the Junk Email Filter, and it did not appear in Add/Remove Programs,
so I don't think it updated automatically.
