No, I'm not running a hacked version of XP - I actually bought it. lol No, my regional settings is set to Canada. Other people I know (also in Canada) have also had the same problem. Turning off automatic updates? .... hmm, I'm not so sure about that... I don't even know exactly what the update's for, it downloads alright, but whenever it tries to install, it Fails. So that little icony thing is stuck there, always telling me to update...
^call microsofl and say "OMG, YOUR PRODUCT HAS A BUG....I DEMAND 50MIL FOR EMONTIONAL DAMAGE!!" EDIT: but seriously, call microsoft
go into ur ms update setting and set it so that u can select which updates u want to install....meantime i'll see what i can find on this update issue..
I always recommend disabling auto updates. But always always create a roll back before this update. looking add/remove programs in control panel, theres a button to see hotfixes, just uninstall it
