Howdy,

The last 2 weeks, explorer, msn etc... have been shutting down automaticly every 15-30 mins.

Ya reckon there is a bug, or is there something that i have done while p****d to have done this?

It is relly s**t me off.

I have AVG, Ad-Aware and spybot.

cheers
BEN

ahhh, not sure the windows updater has been downloading a lot of things lately, seems to be always going.

Is there a problem in the service pack? How do i tell what i have downloaded in the windows updates?
