Default Re: Windows Patch download interrupted by worm


If the computer is constantly rebooting, quickly go to:
Start > Run and type: shutdown -a , and hit enter.

This should halt the rebooting problem.

Thanks for the reply but I cannot even get to my desktop
to hit the start / run option. I doesn't get to the
login screen.
