Apparently, MS released an update that intended to fix 1 problem, but it killed several programs at once.
But don't worry, they also claim to have just released a fix for it.
Not a claim Superfast, they did release a fix for it, and quickly.
The bug could be sorted by just uninstalling the update anyway.

The re-release happened 4 days and roughly 12-20 hours before you posted this thread home-slice SMH

As hazel says, all sorted now, but I didn't know that. I don't follow MS's antics so I missed it, and maybe a few others did as well.

What on earth is home-slice SMH? You got me.

(my apologies for the racistly incorrect third definition of the second term, someone should post meddle in that definition)

I wonder if that's why my computer became completely unstable for about a solid 2 week period, and then out of nowhere it stopped crashing.

Very possible.
Wouldn't be the 1st time an MS update hosed a machine.
I prefer manually updating so I can test & verify.
I only manually update from the Microsoft Updates site. I was leaning towards it being some MS Update because there was no other reason for the system to become so unstable. Anyways it's fixed now, so hopefully I can get another 1 to 1.5 years out of this old XP system before retiring it to be a lean music player only.

which works fine so long as you remember to go once a month, something I was not so good at pre-AU
Deleted by poster. Misread something chaps.

Every craptastic "Update Tuesday" I look, then it along with BITS gets set back to Manual in services. I would completely disable it, but MSE needs it for daily updates.
