Windows Update help!!!

darth yoda · 01-20-2008, 01:57 AM

ok i set my update to download and let me choose when to install. now the yellow shield comes up saying its d/ling but goes away when wanting to install. i can only install by turning the computer off. i think i caused it by saying i didn't want to install the update and it asked if i didn't want notification of 'these' updates again. i said not thinking it meant the particular update. i think it meant updates in general.

thanks in advance

thanx. i got it back now..i dont know how. it was relly wierd. i got a bsod and when i restarted it was back. i tried restarting before so that wasnt it. one more thing. is there a way to keep the shield at the bottom but to stop it bothering u about specific updates but remind u about different ones?

thanx

I guess yes. Automatic updates option. It won't ask you, only download and install them, even without your knowledge.
