Windows update causes blue screen

Talk about frustrating - Windows update wanted to install a bunch of updates. I obediently allowed it to shut down, now the NB200 won't boot, keeps getting the Blue Screen of Death (BSOD). Nothing works, even these suggestions:

Even this didn't work:

Solution : rollback of KB971486 on its own DID NOT resolve the issue. However, rollback of KB971486 and additionally - KB958869( GDI+ security changes) and KB969059 (Indexing Service security changes) sorted this out instantly. Kudos to Marcel for leading the way to enlightenment.

So, back to my previous backup (thanks Ghost), and just say no to the windows updates?
