Auto Updates Problem
No, it's the same two updates. I ran the "fix" again and now all's
well, but I know it's not going to last, etc. Really appreciate your help ... On Mon, 14 Jun 2010 14:53:41 +0100, "123Jim" wrote: "Steve Giannoni" wrote in message .. .

Are you sure it's not just another update downloading? the service packs are pretty big, so are the .net updates.

That 'fixit' routine not only resets the update program files, it deletes any downloaded, but not yet installed updates. These can be large downloads and must be downloaded again . therefore you can still be looking at the yellow shield for a few hours depending on your connection speed. There is another possibility .. I recently updated an HP laptop that could not download updates .. slightly different symptoms to yours .. but it turned out that some crappy HP update software was interfering with the Windows update service ... I had to stop the HP update software (in task manager) to allow MS update to do its thing.

Auto Updates Problem
The yellow shield only reappeared on both systems when I powered up
this AM. The "fix" has gotten rid of it for now, as it had yesterday. It will probably stay away until I power up tomorrow ...
