Windows 7 update problem
To quote Iself of a couple of days previously:
My cynicism proved to be ill founded. Following helpful advice earlier in this thread I went down this path:
1) Set the "sleep' time to "never".
2) Removed the preloaded Office 10. (it was always first in the queue for update - I never used it anyway)
3) Turned off Automatic Updates.
4) Rebooted.
5) Restarted - Automatic Updates had reset to <ON>
6) Went to the Updates menu and told it to "search for updates"
From there on it did all that was expected. I kept on requesting a further searches each time it had finished the immediate process. Finally (about 2 hours later) it advised that 'it was completely up to date'. All in all, a very acceptable birthday present!
Thanks to all concerned.

Now to start the W7 laptop and see how simple this mightn't be....
1) Set the "sleep' time to "never".
2) Removed the preloaded Office 10. (it was always first in the queue for update - I never used it anyway)
3) Turned off Automatic Updates.
