Re: [slim] Urgent Windows XP help needed please !
Hm. I#8217;m using Windows/XP (German), recently upgraded from SP2 to SP3 and never had this problem. In Control Panel/Automatic Updates, I#8217;ve set »Notify, but don#8217;t download or install automatically«. Works as advertised. Sometimes a balloon pops up informing me of new updates and whenever I wish, I download and install it. -- Moonbase Moonbase: 'The Problem Solver' (http://www.kaufen-ist-toll.de/moonbase) Moonbase's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=21594 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=60036 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

pippin;396019 Wrote: It will come back every few minutes and when you are not around it will restart your PC. Are you sure? It's ages since I allowed automatic updates on any of my PCs, but my recollection is that you can ignore it and restart when you're good and ready. My advice to the OP is to carry on ignoring it and let your sync continue. Moral of the story: switch automatic updates off. Microsoft has a history of sending out patches for obscure vulnerabilities (many of which haven't actually been exploited), and in the process break something that people really do use. -- cliveb Transporter - ATC SCM100A cliveb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=348 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=60036 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Right click on my computer, select properties, Automatic Updates and Turn off Automatic Updates.

Re: [slim] Urgent Windows XP help needed please !
I guess I must be lucky: every time I've had the must reboot for updates to take effect message, it hasn't come with a threat to reboot by default if I do nothing (on any of the WinXP boxes I use). So to stop it from popping up every 10 minutes, I shove the little bastard over to the edge of the screen so only a tiny sliver is showing, and leave it there until I'm ready. (Sometimes I leave it like that for several days). Even so, I actually wince whenever the updates are ready to download balloon pops up. It's even more annoying than the one that tells me whether or not I have a wireless connection (given that it's usually bloody obvious). I don't want to disable update checks completely, but it's nice to find a way to stop the reminder. -- Brian -- Brian Ritchie Brian Ritchie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2319 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=60036 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
