Hi Jim, it isn't just you. It's happened to me on many occasions. In face when
it happened again recently I eventually ran out of patience and turned off
automatic updates. I now update selectively and manually.
Another thing I'd mention about windows updates. Recently flash 11, which had
previously worked fine, stopped working, crashing IE whenever I went to a site
using flash. I googled the problem, and it would appear that there has been a
dodgey windows update that has caused the problem. Unfortunately I haven't
found a solution. Windows updates aren't always benefitial. I'm now in a
situation, because I've had to disable the flash plugin where I can't access
any flash content, which is ridiculous. Where it just a case of waiting for a
windows fix that I could live with, but apparently Microsoft say it isn't their
problem, but blame Adobe.
John.

Subject: [access-uk] Windows updates keep repeating
Hi List,
Firstly apologies for cross posting.
XP Home, Office 2003 JAWS 7 and 13
On Wednesday, I was notified about several Microsoft updates and downloaded
them all.
This morning I received further notification that a further 3 updates were
ready to be installed. I'm sure that these 3 were in the original list I
received on Wednesday. Nevertheless I clicked on the download button and left
the PC to do something elsewhere in the house. I came back about 5 minutes
later and the same message about "Updates were ready to be installed". On
checking the list I found they were the same 3 as before. I clicked on
download again and stayed by the computer to observe progress.
I checked the status bar and it stated that updates were being installed. 5
minutes later the updates message appeared again, this time I pressed the
cancel button.
Is it me, the computer or Friday the 13th playing silly b's?
Jim Williams
