i have a dell desktop 8200 with windows xp...i have just got a message saying there were updates available on windows xp2.... i installed and downloaded the updates....however. during my reboot the computer went to the xp window and the screen said stand by.... well i let it stand by for a long time then tried to reboot it.

I just had the same problem with windows server 2003.
It seems that it updates windows installer which
changes files that affect ATAPI controllers for CDROM
devices.
Older CD Drives become incompatable.
You might want to disconect your CD Drive and see
if windows starts properly.
Leave it to Microsoft....
