| 752605 | 2009-03-01 23:01:00 | I have XP everytime I turn the computer off ( say 5 times a day) it comes up with the turn off computer box and the middle one to click to turn off and update. I have updates selected to auto daily at 3 pm. Surely MS isnt updating multi times a day? or is there something wrong with my XP update. Nothing on AVG, Malwarebytes and spybot runs. Thanks for any help |

| 752606 | 2009-03-01 23:10:00 | If the updates are getting stuck from installing, even on turning off, download Dial A fix (www.softpedia.com) - install and run it, tick everything, also press the big button " flush Software Distribution" this will wipe out any updates that are there. Go to updates in the control panel and turn off auto updates - reboot- Then go to Windows update manually, and download / install - dont us auto updates at this stage. | wainuitech (129) | ||

| 752608 | 2009-03-01 23:23:00 | The reason I suggest turning off auto updates at the moment is if they try to update again, while manually doing it, they can clash - once all current updates are installed, then you can turn on auto updates again. Whats the Cause ??? -- Something gets screwed up sometimes, or an update thats meant to be installed before another doesn't finish correctly - can be many reasons. |

When I click link to dial a fix it defaults to regcure or quad ultilities which are register cleaners. Which one if any do I download thanks for your time. |

| 752612 | 2009-03-02 01:12:00 | Why would you want to update automatically every day? I update when I want to, not when Microsoft tells me and even then I am particular what ones I let update. I normally update via AutoPatcher saves a couple of hundred reboots. |

EH!!!:confused: The link works fine - if you are getting redirected to regcure its possible there are infections in the form of spyware on your PC -IF so that could be causing the update problem as well. Here is a Direct download link (djlizard.net) - its a zipped file -328Kb. Extract to a folder, there will be two files, double click dial a fix to run --- The page you should be getting from the link I posted is This one from Softpedia (www.imagef1.net.nz). BUT check for spyware on the PC first. |
