freezing

.....me again! Once more , a problem with Windows XP , maybe it's been handled before but I have it now!!! For the last year or so , I have not taken updates for Windows XP as the system was suddenly freezing and I had the idea that the problem came from the updates . I blocked the updates and all was well , system worked perfectly , no problem . HOWEVER..... there was that Microsoft warning recently , about the recent crucial flaw , that the system could be vulnerable to hackers and that a download patch was available to repair this problem. All comments pointed to the patch being vital .....so I downloaded it . Of course , due to the fact that the system had not been updated for a while it was a question of a bunch of updates instead of one system patch! Now having updated , the computer is freezing regularly , the only solution when this happens is to switch off and restart as control/alt/delete doesn't help. Grrrrrrr! Oh that I hadn't updated , all WAS working perfectly but then I was trying to protect myself , as instructed. I can't do a system restore as the only restore date is the last patch/update date!!!
Has anyone out there (Naples Air Centre - Richard , again?!) THE solution?
Many thanks in advance.
