Remove the updates via Add/Remove in the Control Panel and then reboot your
computer. If everything is back to normal, download the updates again
manually, but disable your anti-virus first. Your A/V can prevent a clean
install of updates.

This morning, after Windows XP autoupdate, with some apparent difficulty,
downloaded a half dozen or so updates at 3AM, I can no longer drag
messages
to a subfolder. I can manually "move to folder" just fine. The difficulty
mentioned above was when several of the downloads first failed, and then
apparently downloaded OK the second time. I then checked for critical
updates
and none were needed.
Thank you
