Do a virus scan ASAP! I'm not saying that is the cause but there is a nasty IE vulnerability found this week and the bad guys are being quick to exploit it.

Also check your event viewer it should contain any errors relating to crashing or non responsive applications. Event viewer can be found via CONTROL PANEL->ADMINISTRATIVE TOOLS->EVENT VIEWER.

Good luck.

Reboot again. Or uninstall the update and see if that fixes it. I haven't run into IE issues on XP or Vista from December updates. Look in your event log for the kb number.
If it's still an issue, post OS, browser version and patch number(s).

There weren't any patches released this morning but there was an IE rollup patch that was released on the 9th (kb958215). This update has screwed a few people but not in a consistent way so I can't guess what to do about it. Outside of the standard "buy a Mac" and "install Ubuntu" type of advice of course. :)

It should be noted that this does not address the XML pointer problem that Snaz was talking about, there's no patch for that yet. Of course it could be that you got infected with something through that hole and then the patch you tried to install this morning failed because of it. If your scan reports no infections now maybe retry the update.
