[RayP.]

Turned on,got on line for every bit of 2 min. and Microsoft butts in and takes control away from me,40 min's,4 downloads,3 total shut downs and 3 start ups later before I get control back,thought for a while maybe it was my ISP,Norton Anti-Virus or some other program causing Microsoft to horn in and make changes,checked and it's none of them,I have not installed any programs,has the same load it came with,have done scans,no evidence of virus shows up,can't find anything thats been pre-scheduled,beats me as to what is going on.

Ray,

You have "Install auto-updates automatically" turned on by default to download and install them when they are available, it's not Microsoft or Vista problems. And you're on dial-up which lenghtens the whole procedure.

Read your help files on "Auto Updates."
