After installing some updates I have encountered the dreaded blue screen monster....

This application has failed to start because ootmapi.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.
Running on Dell inspiron 6000 Laptop

What updates? The ootmapi.dll belongs to O&O software. You might want to check with O&O tech support.
In the meantime, see if you can get into Safe Mode by repeatedly tapping the F8 key as the computer starts up. If you can get in, use the System Configuration Utility to prevent anything by O&O from starting with Windows:
Start>Run>msconfig [enter]
This brings up the System Configuration Utility. Look on the Startup tab and find the probable culprit. Uncheck the box next to its name, Apply and OK out. You don't need to restart immediately, but the next time you do you'll get a dialog saying you've used the Utility. Just tick the box that says in effect, "don't bother me about this again".
Important - Do not use the System Configuration Utility to stop processes. Instead, use Start>Run>services.msc [enter]
