Windows update

Anyone else have the Windows Update icon (little yellow shield) in the taskbar? Both PCs in the Lab at work have it and one in the office and it's progress doesn't seem to get much past 6% before going back to zero.
Was just wondering if it was an issue with our network or just Windows being retarded.

Might help saying which Windows version you are talking about?
Sounds like Vista or? No such problems for me, but I have 7.

It's XP

I've got the yellow shield but I'm ignoring it, always have done as when I got my PC repaired the guy stuck on service pack 3 and have had no problems.

Yup go for Service Pack 3.
If it still gives the problem, ctrl+alt+del -> Processes -> then you gotta disable the update thing. Don't remember the exact name of the option, but just go through the list, you'll figure it out.

It's not my pc, it's one at work and it seems all of them have the same thing.

I bought windows 7 and for once it's bloody good. I had vista for 6 months and what a pile of turd on my shoe that was!

Personally I rate Vista way above 7. I dislike 7 with a passion. It's unreliable, unsecure, annoying and looks F***ing horrible.
