Latest MS patches vs office 2003

So I installed the latest patches from MS on Thur and and am no longer able
to use Word, Excel, or Wordpad.

When I open word it opens fine and I can work for about 20-30 seconds.
During that time the memory usage of the winword.exe process get's upwards of
500mb and then the application closes.

Wordpad uses the same process and will get upwards of 30mb then close within
about 5 seconds

Excel works fine untill I try to modify the font of a field. Then the same
thing happens like Word.

When outlook uses Word as the default mail editor it acts like Word does.
When I use the outlook editor it works fine.

One of my coworkers had the same problem and was able to correct the problem
by upgrading to 2007 beta 2. No such luck for me.

Any thoughts as to the cause.

An update on the situation.

I ran a system restore to before I installed the updates, installed office
and am able to work now. However whenever I open an office app, IE, or word
pad the windows installer pops up for a quick second then my app loads.

I thought we were passed the win ME updates. LOL
