With the new service pack coming out soon, how do I turn
off my automatic updates. I will be out of town for a few
days, and do not want this installed while I am gone. The
computer is off-line when I am out of town, but I never
know when my son or his family might get on line while I
am gone.

Thank you, Elaine

Start>Control Panel>Automatic Update>you can set it to download and notify
you to install or to just turn it off if wanted.

It will not be able to be installed without accepting the EULA.
