I hate the week after Patch Tuesday

I /really/ do.

You can thank Auto Updates for that, ~Robear ;-)
Installing manually with the AV auto-protect disabled takes care of the
problems.

LOL. Yeah. It takes up bandwidth among other things. :-)

You should be on dialup. There is no "bandwith" and probably never will be
anything but in the sticks. No DSL, Wireless, Cable etc.

I had eight (8) updates offered & installed by 5:45 PM on Patch Tuesday;
that's some kinda record with so many updates being released.

PS: I didn't disable any real-time protection prior to installing &
everything's hunky-dory. Then again, it's not a Vista box, so YMMV. <eg>

No problems for me either - nothing disabled, stopped or anything, just as it came. All
updates installed. Vista seems a real problem and no solutions for many of them. I ain't
ready for Vista yet !

I am not ready for it either - my daughter against all advice got a new
system in Feb - nothing but grief as I have to try and get her Black Tuesday
sorted.
All Dell will do is get her to re-install the OS every time.
I used some MS betaware before :-) - never again.

Glad all worked for you all this month - so far my 'one at a time' method is
working - perhaps I should not have said that?

Whatever method used antioch, if it works, stick with it.
I had problems in the past, but so far so good.
I note that I have stopped my antivirus from scanning the softwaredistribution folder
(recommended by Mowgreen).

Virus scanning recommendations for computers that are running Windows Server 2003, Windows
2000, or Windows XP
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/822158

This may have prevented a few problems over the last few months and I haven't had to
rename the softwaredistribution folder for some time now.
