Updates at Shutdown

When I shutdown, I continue to receive a choice to install a

Windows Update or Shut down without the update. I choose

Install and the update is installed and the computer shuts down.

But every time now, I get this choice and keep installing the

update. This has been happening repeatedly for a couple of

weeks, it seems.



I cannot get the screen where I can simply shut down.



Thanks for any help



Roger

What happens if you:

1. initiate the same update

2. then reboot

3. and shut down only after this reboot ?

This takes immaturity to a new level. Your mother would be proud, unless,

of course, you *are* the mother.

Letting XP install updates at shutdown generally works okay but

sometimes there is a problem.



If you are having a problem, you will not be able to see what the

problem is if you let XP install updates at shutdown (unless you start

looking at and deciphering the update log files).



To fix the problem, first you need to know what the problem is. You

have not identified the problem yet - except that something is not

working.



Use Internet Explorer, Tools, Windows Update, Custom to see what

Microsoft thinks about your current setup. From there you can see

what updates need to be applied and then install them, then watch them

install and if there is a problem you will then be able to see what

update is causing the problem and then can you decide what to do about

it.



Once you know what the problem is with the updates, you can fix it.

If you don't know what the problem is, you could be in for a long and

frustrating waste of otherwise productive time cycles trying various

suggestions.



Sometimes the auto update feature gets hosed and just "reseting" it

will clear up the problem (and give you fresh log files), but you

don't even know what the problem is yet.
 
You just insulted kindergarten dropouts! :-)

I suspect you're right; he's not very good at posing. Or spilling 'n' gremmr

eider fer dat mattah. He's posed as at least two others I've noticed and

probably more I haven't noticed; it's not something I watch for unless it's

a smelly post.
