I reverted to a restore point just before the updates and everything was back to normal. As far as I can remember these were the udates>>>>>>>
Security updates for Vista – x3
Security update for Javascript for Vista
Security update for media format runtime for Vista
Update for Vista
Malicious software removal tool
Update for Windows mail junk email filter
Security Update for Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Service Pack 1 Redistributable Package (KB973923)
Definition update for Windows Defender
Security Update for Microsoft office publisher
Security Update for Microsoft office word 2007
Security Update for Microsoft powerpoint
Security Updates for 2007 Microsoft office system x3
Security Update for Microsoft office infopath

I'm left wondering if I can ever instal any Windows updates ever again....?????
Any comments gratefully received.

Hello,
Try installing the updates one by one and then restarting after each one. I always create a restore point do install this updates in this way. I have had issues with some updates in the past and if you install one by one you find out which one is the culprit.
