BA Will Not Open After Latest MS Update

Bill Gates Strikes again! If only he would dress up like Darth Vadar so we would see his true colors!

I was told that updates were going to be installed to my XP 64 install so I let it "do its thing." Once I rebooted and signed on I no longer could launch IE8. Now I also cannot open up Battle Academy.

Did anyone else have this problem and if so what is the solution?

Question: is there a way to uninstall the latest Win update?

I am dead in the water until I find a solution.

Ok - I figured out how to uninstall the dumb MS updates. If someone figures out the settings that need to be enabled to get BA and Internet Explorer working w/new MS updates let me know. For now my system has not be hijacked to transport Aliens to West Sussex ... ;)

Well that is odd. What error message did you get when you tried to run BA? I got some updates today too, but on W7_64 it is still fine.

I can't think what could have broken it - do other games still work (could be a driver update issue)?

Cheers

No error message for either BA or IE. Just would not launch at all. Zip, notta, nothing.

For now I will just leave 'well enough alone." or in the words of an immortal Yank "If it aint fixed don't break it."
