Finished a WU this morning.
ASSumed it would start on the next - wrong! Mad
Hours later I noticed it was repeatedly trying to D\L a new Core.
I have O\C the Intel CPU Core 2 Duo E6750 2.66GHz to 3.2GHz and reduced the voltage one tiny step keeping the temp under 42C.
I went in and put the voltage to standard which solved nothing.

I had to tell Vista in startup as the Administrator to D\L' Rolling Eyes

Although I haven't ventured to try Vista I would assume because you are downloading a new core/exe that Vista is telling you it wants or it must have permissions to do so...

It keeps asking "Are you sure you want to do that?" even as Admin but does not notify you an internal device is wanting out.
It won't let you do some things even after you click as Admin.
