xp gets stuck after unsuccessful update

[amose]

hi
yesteday I got a message when turning off the PC that updates will be installed.
the pc started to install update 1out of 7 and didn't get over that point for the whole night.
now when i turn on the PC i get after about 2 minutes :
"svchost.exe application error the instructin at "xxxxxxxxxxxx" referenced memory at "xxxxxxxxx" the memory could not be read"
and then:
"generic host proccess for win32 server has......."
and then i can no more activate programs.
i tried system restore 4 days back but i still get the same error.
only in safe mode i don't get this error.
any more ideas what to do before i format my PC?
thanks
amos

Do you know which update it was that failed or are you able to find out from the Microsoft Update site?
