Well, I believe it would be difficult to answer without knowing the OS.

I have never noticed such problem with Mac.

Actually, the situation normally happens when you've automatic updates enabled. Once the update is installed, Windows normally needs a restart.

It does, but there is usually a message that asks whether to restart now or later I'd be kinda pissed if the updates restart my computer without my permission.

Yeh, and it always shows "Shutting down in 4 minutes" . Especially when I'm streaming Dilbert Cartoons on YouTube .

Oh, I didnt realise there is a countdown timer. Perhaps thats a feature of Vista only?

Ya know, I didnt know there were dilbert cartoons I've only ever read the comics! Damn, I'm going to be super addicted to watching it now.

Biggie, wants the most efficient way to stream the dilbert clips?

This one is so damn funny! -> YouTube - Dilbert Cartoon- Engineers

Check it out CEans!

[EDIT]
And this! YouTube - Engineer

Sorry Miniy for hijacking your thread We'll be waiting for your response, though. Please list out what OS you use as well as your computer specifications just in case.

Okay, we'll now try to guess the OS on your system.

Windows XP (SP2) - I say. What do you say, ash?
