ouch not good. We forgive you though. Just get them running. Yesterday's total daily points were terrible. Today's look a little better though.

do you know why they auto rebooted? Please let us know so it won't happen to the rest of us. thanks, and I'm sorry that it happened. fold on!

you had a update that I understand. Is there a way to get the download and reboot at your request?

Yes, you can set it not to reboot or even not to download without your interaction, however settings in a WUSS (downstream) was set to auto reboot the systems after a certain amount of time. If its your home systems you have complete control; start > control Panel > security center > automatic updates. (XP)

I know the feeling. I've had that happen as well, but promptly corrected the issue.

We've also been having power outages over the last few weeks that have cost me some hours. That, and my reboot problem (new post, this forum) has killed my ppd recently. I'm probably going to move my UPS from the server room back in here to keep the towers running until I can buy new ones for each machine.

Good Idea, i think i'll pull a couple of my UPS units out of my server room to keep some workstations folding while i'm on vacation across the pond....
