aHello Midknyte and all, did a system restore from 14th August, got rid of most of the update repeats.

Turned off microsofts auto updater.

Do you know how to stop the red box reminder from coming up?? Bit of a nuisance.
Best not having the updater working, to many copies being placed on my computer.

It might be a bit daft turning off microsofts updater, but, whats the alternative?

Thanks for your reply, GEP
