Do they mess up your computer because I have installed everyone along with SP2 and since doing it my computer keeps freezing and going real slow.

    Well if you don't i know there was something about it putting on your comp about it not being genuine. Maybe they do summat to slwo it down too? Wouldn't surprise me.

    Have you turned automatic updates off?

    The updates shouldn't "mess up your computer".

    Updates are off, and the PC was working fine untill I installed them.

    Sometimes they do mess things up. Hence why sysadmins tend to turn off automatic updates and apply them manually after testing them.

    Oh it could. If you've paid for it, talk to Microsoft.

    Do you know which update was installed immediately prior to the problems you are having with your system?

    Then you need to uninstall them one by one until the problem goes away. That way you'll know which one is upsetting the system, and can try adding the other updates to ensure you've caught the right one.
