GMan! Apologies for the hiatus. For six weeks after your post I was bugged by the inability of Windows Update to install KB927779. On average I wd install it 5-6 times a day i.e. whenever the Yellow Shield came up; researched all the MS help files, followed all helpful suggestions (including yours) but without success. So kept offline as much as poss. THEN, I installed SP3 and behold! No More Yellow Shields (tho' neither is KB927779 installed) So I have been gently restoring files from Acronis (which has been largely successful) but have a new problem in that Windows often hangs when shutting down. I get "Logging off", "Saving your settings", "Windows is shutting down" and then it hangs ... and hangs.... and hangs; until I have to manually Power Off. Is there a File somewhere inside (which I could look at after restarting) and which wd tell me what ACTUALLY happened?? and hopefully give me clue as to how to correct the problem?? I wd appreciate ANY suggestions please Roger W On 23/04/2008 1:25 p.m., GMan wrote: > Roger, > > Look out Below! > > Peace, > G > > > > --------------------------------------------------------------- Please remember to trim your replies (including this sentence and everything below it) and adjust the subject line as necessary.
