Guest Nick C Posted August 20, 2007 Posted August 20, 2007 I rently did a clean install of XP Pro. I followed up with scanning and doing recommended update install. Now a few days later, I shut down my computer. Then I get a message that Updates are being installed (2 of 14). Do not turn off or unplug. The problem is this: I am looking at the same message (2 of 14) for almost 2 hours. Should I assume there is a problem and power OFF Please help

Started computer again and rebooted but the same message reappeared and has been on for almost an hour now "Nick C" <nickcwpg@hotmail.com> wrote in message news:uEWwoy24HHA.4164@TK2MSFTNGP04.phx.gbl... >I rently did a clean install of XP Pro.

Guest MowGreen [MVP] Posted August 22, 2007 Posted August 22, 2007 Disconnect the system from the network/internet. COMPLETELY disable the installed antivirus program for now and restart the system. If that gets the updates to install, then prior to restarting the system, REENABLE the AV *before* reconnecting.
