Well, i'm getting one every time i click on anything.

I really don't mind one every now and then , but not every 2 seconds

All I can suggest is that you go into your control panel... choose edit options... and the update without changing anything. That works for me

I had the same thing for some time, too. In most cases, what Ming said will help you, if not, that's an issue with cookies in yuor browser.

Microsoft products crash your system, making it impossible to shut down properly. On reboot the MS OS system complains that you didn't shut down properly.

I always find that amusing.

I changed me 'style'
but that seems to help

Do you mean sort of a refresh, a kind of reboot on ultra-special. I.E. choose the same style??

One of the first questions they ask you when you call those places with a computer problem is whether your computer is plugged in. One of my friends worked at a computer help desk over a summer one year and he told me that fifty percent of problems were simply solved with that question, did you hit the power button, is your monitor/keyboard/mouse hooked into your computer. It is always a good idea to ask those easy questions first and eliminate those before trying to find a harder problem that might not be there.

Reminds me of that call-center joke where they went through a large number of things to see if they could get the computer working, and it ended up that it wouldn't work because there was a black-out.

No, that would be shut down your computer and reinstall everything.
