anyone know how to RE-INSTALL a windows automatic update?

yesterday it downloaded, i ignored it, keepd pressing the "restart in 5 min" button.
then i finaly said go ahead and walkd away.

i come back to my computer an hour later, move my mouse to wake up the computer, and on the screen is a nice msg from firefox asking me if i want to close all my tabs(hadnt done the restart)

i click ok, that dissapears, everything els dissapears, and im left with a frosen desktop (looks nice and clean) and nothing happens from there, dosnt move.

so i hit the restart button, and it hasnt asked me to do anything since.
however, i did have a complete freeze on me later that day, so, not im a little worried.

this is winXP32, sp3


thanks
Snowy

Take up bike riding or some other outdoor activity and use all you computers as boat anchors, never known a person who has so many problems with a pc :-X

ps some updates need a long time to install and require a couple of restarts and in vista it tells ya not to turn off computer or power :-X

i happend to be outside at the time, thankyou!!

and its not a problem, its a potenchial problem! it MAY be damaged.


yea xp also tells you to not turn off your computer. but because it fell asleep waitng on me to close the broser, when i woke it up n did that, i guess it got confused or forgot what it was doing, it never got to that screen.

Base at pwr has said i can dlead a particular temp file n it should be sweet.
but may be a case of if it ant realy broken, dont fix it.

Does you machine have an bad symptoms.. (does it still work)

what have you tried.

have you tried the "windows update" in the tools menu of internet explorer. Also I have vista now but i thought there was an icon in the "control panel" for windows updates.


best of luck matey, you seemed to have had a rough trot with PC's lately..
