My PC is suffering the same problem as James 14/10/2004 13:58. I also have
SP2 and ADSL.

On turn off I get the message 'Updates are being installed (1 of 3)' and

'Do not turn off or unplug your computer; it will turn off automatically'.

But it never gets past install 1 of 3 and it has to be rebooted.

I have done a System Restore and run Spybot but no joy!

Please can anybody help?
