You can uninstall the updates OR

Step-by-Step Resolution:

Windows XP :

Rename the wab32.dll in Both

will be
restored.

1) Rename the wab32.dll in DLL cache

The dll cache is normally in :

C:\WINNT\system32\dllcache
or
C:\Windows\system32\dllcache

note: The Dll Cache is hidden

2) Rename the wab32.dll in C:\Program Files\Common Files\System

3) after Renaming the wab32.dll in C:\Program Files\Common Files\System
system file protection will attempt to restore the file from the windows XP
CD (you
