Warning about new Windows Update
Just a warning to you all who have the Automatic Windows Update program activated on your computers. I found out today that the newest one is making many computers run slowly and may not want to start up. I know someone in the Tech department here at school and she has about 12 computers stacked up already that she needs to work on today. My computer gave me one a few days ago, and is running fine, but be cautious.

never leave windows update on auto. Microsoft only releases updates on a monthly basis so its alot easier to just click windows update once a month.
|
Yeah, I just got a new update notification, too, but I haven't installed them because I heard that it wipes out P2P software like Kazaa...hey, Mulletman, how do turn off the automatic windows update thingy? Thanks for the info, H-D.

Setting --> System --> Automatic Updates Tab
In that Tab the very first thing you will see if a white box that says: "Keep my computer up todate. etc..." Make sure that that tab is UNCHECKED. This is who you do it in Windows XP Home/Professional. Should be the same thing in the older versions. - enjoy |
I downloaded the latest Update last night, and so far I haven't had any problems.
Thanks for the info! :D |
Go LINUX !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
|
LOL, Marcos....thanks, Mulletman...I'll do that when I get home.

hmmm.... I wonder if that's the reason my computer has been lagging a bit this week. My P2P (Ares) seems to have been working fine. The the same download help you Colin, or was it something to remedy the problem?
|
is there any way to remove the most recent update? i'm hoping that's the reason it's going slow, b/c it's been acting sorta fucked up and slow for the past week
|
yes there is, but its tricky. if you go to Add/Remove programs you will see at the very bottom you will see
