Hi everyone

I am running xp pro and over the past week i have had the following message
displayed on my computer 3 times.......it goes something like (sorry i am not
sure of the exact wording)

"Your computer needs to install updates and will close down in 5
minutes".........................and then has a 5 minute counter and counts
down. there is nothing i can do to stop it or get out of it. i only have the
choice of either closing down now or waiting the 5 minutes and letting the
computer close down on its own.

if anyone knows how to rectify this problem i would be more than happy
thank you heaps in advance

Kylie
 
Are your computer in the domain? Effect looks like Windows Update Service
policy. If so - ask you admin about it.

Check AutouUpdate in system preferences, can you select update mode or
options is disabled?

Run gpedit.msc (from Start-Run) and navigate to Computer Configuration -
Administrative templates - Windows Components - Windows Update and check
options there.
