Update freezes computer on shut down

10-13-2004

I downloaded SP2 last week, upon shutting down my computer last night the
shutdown screen started displaying "Installing update 1 of 3" and alternating
this text with "Do not turn off or unplug your computer" - I haven't and it's
still doing this 15 hours later! Any ideas?

See the post below titled "AUTOMATIC UPDATE STALLS ON SHUTDOWN" for a
solution.

Hope this helps.
