vista is pissing me off, sorry to start my message this way but it is. My
computer decided to download the latest updates (some security updates)
anyway after the updates i was unable to browse with internet explorer. my
connection was fine because i was able to log on to msn messenger and windows
live mail. so i restored to a date previous to the update installation, then
i was able to browse again, well the updates decided to install themselves
again today and the same thing happened again. i had to restore again. i am
sick of this. i need help, what is going on with this latest security update,

Hi Soleil,

This tutorial will show you how to hide the Windows Updates so that it will not keep trying to install them for you.

Windows Update


You may need to temporarily turn off Automatic Updating to do this if it installs them before you get a chance to hide them. This tutorial will show you how to if needed.

Windows Update - Windows Automatic Updating

Hope this helps.

Set automatic updates to ONLY tell you when updates are available and
to not download them.

When they become available (usually the second Tuesday of every month)
you can pick and choose the ones you want to download, or choose to do
nothing.
