    Take it you updated then

    Top update is Windows ID programme, would have been ok if you'd switched it off. your not the first by a long way nor will you be the last.

    Never realised what was happening mate

    Just thought it was a security update. Will get used to it eventually though!

    Can you uninstall that update?

    Gp into Control Panel and select Add/Remove Programs. Check the box at top that says "Show Updates" and look for update number KB905474.

    Uninstall it and see if that helps.

    Been searching the Net mate....

    and apparently there is no way as yet to stop this happening......unless you want to stop ALL updates from Windows - something that I dont really want to do.</p>

    Looks like im stuck with it until I get a new PC in probably around a year.</p>

    Try and do a system restore.....?

    Thats my answer to everything.</p>

    Or hit the machine a few times.</p>

    Next and last resort sell it to somebody else as new.</p>

    FANTASTIC

    Cheers mate. It is quite annoying isnt it.</p>

    Just out of curiosity, is your pc clock ******? Mine is and they have come at the same time. Maybe just coincidence after coming back from holiday after two weeks.</p>

    £1 tops and easier than a watch battery.

    Just swap them over.
    Finding your old battery is the hardes bit especially if the contents of the case are a bit cramped.

    Each time I turn my PC on....

    My MSN refuses to sign in for around the first hour of booting up. No virus found at all. All doesnt seem perfect, but im sure given time that things will be back to normality.

    RE: WINDOWS XP Problem.

    Use system restore to before you got the message. Then turn off updates.
