Guest Foenix Posted August 23, 2008 Posted August 23, 2008 Every time the machine is restarted, a "you must restart to continue update" message comes up. No matter how many times it is restarted, the message reappears. Machine & all applications work okay anyway. How do I get rid of the reacurring message?
