Scan your system for viruses and spyware. This may help.

Serach your hard disk for a file called normal.dot and delete it.

Yes it will. Microsoft issue Critical updates because that's what they are, critical. You need them all.

yes but the last one did all the damage and bother.
why would i risk another download of trub from them??
or are they aware of the bloody inconveince they are causing.
so if i download a new update there shouldnt be a problem??
the last critical updates have caused some trouble from other peoples postings that ive read.
thanks

Your choice at the end of the day. If you don't install them you leave your PC open to infection.

I had a slight problem following the recent updates. When I booted up, a message appeared announcing that Windows couldn't write to the Task Launcher and I might like to reinstall Works. Well, I didn't like that idea at all, so I opened all the things that were usually on the Task Launcher and it's been fine ever since...fingers crossed!
