  • @WindowsHelp well this lil stupid auto update fucked up my computer 

  • ...

  • thanks so much

  • Can someone help me my computer keeps freezing then it comes back after like 2 mins

  • @abadamu05 Me too -- but click & hope seems to work fine .. most of the time 9and that BIG red X -- also helps whenever i get lost (oh & it works from CLICKING in the LH top corner too -- as i found "by accident" one day) plus... they still "sell" new PC's -- whenever i crash mine -- against an unmovable object -- (like a pharkin big hammer)

  • Now--- IF.? If you had advised people --RIGHT AT THE START ,... that they needed to 'go" to an admin account 1st .. None of this would have been a problem

  • It's OK trev..

    I've found the problem.

    Re: Help & Support -- & after about 3,000 pages of info later...???

    My Automatic Updates options are grayed out?

    If your computer is part of a network, your network administrator might have configured your Automatic Updates options for you. ..... , such as updates, are applied. Your options might also be grayed out if you are not an administrator for your computer. Only administrators can add or remove programs, including updates.

    Um- that's why eh.?

  • Hang about..?

    I HAVE NEVER EVER USED -- any other setting .. than the AUTOMATICALLY INSTALL UPDATES .. 9recommended0..

    BUT -- have always had an icon on the taskbar -- tell me to "boot" the installs.

    NOW -- i read the next option ? AND GUESS WHAT --THAT is what ur useless XP has been doing .. NOT the automatically install option AS SET -- at all.?)
