BLUE SCREEN, UNABLE TO BOOT AFTER WINDOWS XP UPDATE TODAY
http://social.answers.microsoft.com.../thread/73cea559-ebbd-4274-96bc-e292b69f2fd1/
============================================================================================
A workaround to remove KB977165 and a method to mitigate the
vulnerability this update addresses has been posted in the above Windows
Update forum by Kevin Hau of Microsoft:
" Hello Everyone,
I wanted to thank everyone for the great information and discusion in
this thread!
We have found that there is only one patch that requires un-installation
to resolve the blue screen issue. KB977165 is the patch in question, the
other patches do not seem to cause the blue screen behaviour and do not
need to be uninstalled.
With that in mind, here's the updated solution steps:
1. Boot from your Windows XP CD or DVD and start the recovery console
(see this Microsoft article for help with this step)
Once you are in the Repair Screen..
2. Type this command: CHDIR $NtUninstallKB977165$\spuninst
3. Type this command: BATCH spuninst.txt
4. When complete, type this command: exit
IMPORTANT: If you are able to uninstall the patch and get back into
Windows, in order to stay protected you can use the following automated
solution which secures your PC against the vulnerabilities that are
resolved with KB977165 until you can successfully get the update
installed without the blue screens.
Please see the link below for the article describing the vulnerability
that is fixed with KB977165 and how you can get protected without
installing the actual KB update:

I also wanted to thank maxyimus for the great thread, and LThibx for
their participation as well!
Thanks,
Kevin "
