Guest rogeepete Posted September 25, 2007 Posted September 25, 2007 I posted this recently and received a reply from John Haverty. I thought my problem was solved but it reappeared and continues. After Start, Turn Off Computer, I get the choice of installing updates. I choose this, get to Logging Off, Saving Settings, and then installing update 1 of 1, Do Not Turn Off or Unplug, etc. I must go through three of these cycles including the installing update 1 of 1, until the computer shuts down. When I want to shut down the next time, I have to go through the three cycles again. I know I can select Shut Down without installing updates, but what is going on? Thanks Roger -- Roger

Clipped > Roger Hi Roger If this is a security/critical update (not upgrade) then try the correct newsgroup http://news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.windowsupdate You surely must have some indication what is trying to get installed - is it from MS via the yellow shield on the task bar/system tray? If it is as you have said, you went into WU, get the KB number, go to here and download to desktop or burn to disc. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/Browse.aspx?displaylang=en&categoryid=7 After download, work offline, disable all AV, antispy progs, then try install. OR Try this way for repeated offers of updates. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/910339 With updates, there are many different ways to get a download to install. Not all seem to work for all. The above is just a couple that might work for you. If it is not a security/critical and is of no importance that you install it, then stick it in the hidden folder in WU Home. Good luck Antioch
