Outlook 2003 errors since updates applied

All was working on pc. Installed both of these updates the day before
yesterday.
Update for Outlook Junk Email Filter 2003 (KB943591)
Update for Outlook 2003 (KB943649)

Since then I have had lockups, failing to open emails, even my Adobe Acrobat
Standard gives me an error that never appeared before the updates were
applied:
"There was an error while loading the plug-in 'SaveAsXML.api'. The data
area passed to a system call is too small."

Was told on another forum for ADOBE products that the Outlook needed to be
repaired, then reinstall Acrobat.

Went into Control Panel and those two updates were NOT listed for Add and
Remove. So. HOW can I get my OUTLOOK repaired?

I am running xp pro on office network. Have Office 2002 for
Word/Excel/PP/Access but run Outlook 2003 to be compatible with server. Has
NEVER been issue.

I have lost so much time and effort struggling with this and I am going
nuts! Please help.

Since this error is specific to the Windows Updates and I want to remove
those updates, I posted on THIS forum. None of the others were discussing
windows update issues.
