Security Update for Outlook Express released 11 May 2010
in [Outlook Express]

From: spamlet on 12 May 2010 12:48 Takes forever to restart this old Inspiron, and update always says 'you may get on with other stuff while this is going on': then it pesters you until you give up! Very annoying. Haven't done the desktop yet: but if, like me, you have Pro on the pc and Home on the lap top perhaps they behave differently - as they do over permissions for example.

Perhaps due to one computer not having a particular resource or component "in use" at the time.
From: Bob Lucas on 12 May 2010 13:44 That could well be the reason. XP Pro on the Laptop required a restart. XP Home on the Desktop did not.

From: PA Bear [MS MVP] on 12 May 2010 17:48 If you'd closed OE before installing the update, a reboot wouldn't be required. spamlet wrote: > Cheers: > > Now all I need is a way to stop it telling me I need to restart my > computer > every 5 minutes! > ;-) > > S > > > "Richard in AZ" <me(a)mailinator.com> wrote in message > news:%23JIOIEe8KHA.5848(a)TK2MSFTNGP06.phx.gbl... >> It was part of the last automatic windows update package >> >> "spamlet" <spam.morespam(a)invalid.invalid> wrote in message >> news:eO7ro2c8KHA.1560(a)TK2MSFTNGP02.phx.gbl... >>> And is this in with our automatic updates or do we have to get it >>> ourselves? >>> >>> S >>> >>> >>> "PA Bear [MS MVP]" <PABearMVP(a)gmail.com> wrote in message >>> news:Ob%238aCX8KHA.5476(a)TK2MSFTNGP06.phx.gbl... >>>> [crossposted to OE General & OE6 newsgroups as an FYI] >>>> >>>> MS10-030: Vulnerability in Outlook Express...could allow remote code >>>> execution: >>>> http://support.microsoft.com/kb/978542

Was OE or Wal-Mail open when you installed KB978542 on the laptop? Bob Lucas wrote: > There is a very easy way to prevent it from asking repeatedly for > a re-start.
