-=PCTechTalk=- Re: start up monitor - windows update

Thanks !
Windows update wouldn't download again - it said it was 
waiting for a re-boot of the current process.
I figured out how to disable it - but then I uninstalled it 
(start up monitor) anyway. Figure I'll put it back on again. 
I had Start Up Control Panel on my old computer. I don't 
have it on this one - that is what I thought I was looking 
for in control panel that I couldn't find.

Hey, Cris,

Sure, I use one. Mine is just a Windows Process, and I can 
stop it at
any time through Windows Task Manager (Ctrl-Alt-Del). Yours 
is
probably similar.

(There's also a link to shut mine down in Start >> Programs)

Doubt you've messed up anything. Just shutdown through Task 
Manager,
go to Windows Update again and re-download. When you reboot, 
your
Startup Monitor will start up again.
