I'm having the same problem with the August updates. This never happened before.
It happens both with automatic updates, and by selecting Tools -> Windows Update
from the IE menu. My resources get so taxed I can't even pull up task manager or
restart, I literally have to unplug the computer! I'm running Windows xp sp2 and
have made no software or setting changes since the July updates. I finally
disabled automatic updates til MS acknowledges and fixes the problem.
