Running XP and Office 2007.

Because of some problem installing Office, whenever my PC restarts, Word
comes up in a nobbled state (cut/past and save disabled). Because update
has restarted my PC overnight, I end up losing anything I have done in Word
that I have not manually saved.

I've looked in the registry for NoAutoRebootWithLoggedOnUsers and it's not
there.

I cannot see how to prevent this automatic reboot.

Any help appreciated.

Bill

PS Fixing the problem that Office wants to reconfigure after a reboot would
also solve this problem.

That has nothing to do with Windows Update issues.
