I just got over the update problem when I start windows. Nothing apears but that window. First I tell you what to do to get your desktop back. But please do not stop there. There might be many more problems ahead for you. First you will close all open windows that come up when you start. Then you will press ctrl alt and del at the same time. Now click on task manager. When task manager comes up you will have to click on the tab "applications" then in the lower right hand corner you will need to click on "new task". In the box that comes up type "control" then click ok and your desktop will apear and you might get an error message. Now that you can do that I recomend watching what you save to cds or disks because you may have a virus. I was finding viruses that were called klez.h and url.com some of them avg virus scanner could not delete so I had to manualy go in and delete them. I think I may of had a trrjan horse because avg never found the "mother" of the viruses. I formated and popped in the cd that I saved only a few files to and I got the whole update thing again. So hopefully you backed everything up a long time ago. If I were you i would back up now, format, install everything back on your computer. If you get all this update window and un able to open dialog again then you will have to abandon all your software that you have on your computer unless you bought it or a friend has it. Sorry man, i hate bad news. I was pissed when it happened to me and as I am typing this it has only been about 6 or 7 hours since I formated. Ironic huh. This is the longest that I have made it without having anyproblems and I have formated about 4 times trying to find files that are not infected. Fell free to email me at nirus137@netscape.net or get on aol instant messenger. My screen name is NiRuS V. I would realy like to hear back from you. I want to know what the outcome is and if I can help more. Good luck -----NiRuS nirus137@netscape.net
