Now all I need is a way to stop it telling me I need to restart my computer
every 5 minutes!

There is a very easy way to prevent it from asking repeatedly for
a re-start. Restart your computer !!

However, this month's Critical Updates has raised an interesting
issue. The package included the Windows Malicious Software
Removal Tool - May 2010 (KB890830) and the Security Update for
Windows XP (KB978542). There were no other items.

I have two Win XP (SP3) computers (a desktop and a laptop). I
allowed Windows Update to download and install both items. The
laptop prompted for a restart. The desktop computer did not. I
wonder why.

Takes forever to restart this old Inspiron, and update always says 'you may
get on with other stuff while this is going on': then it pesters you until
you give up! Very annoying.

Haven't done the desktop yet: but if, like me, you have Pro on the pc and
Home on the lap top perhaps they behave differently - as they do over
permissions for example.

Cheers,

Perhaps due to one computer not having a particular resource or
component "in use" at the time.

That could well be the reason. XP Pro on the Laptop required a
restart. XP Home on the Desktop did not.

If you'd closed OE before installing the update, a reboot wouldn't be
required.

Was OE or Wal-Mail open when you installed KB978542 on the laptop?
