On the screen it states not to shut down or unplug the computer while the update is occuring. I am running the Premium Home version of Vista.

Should I just power down and reboot when I get home tonight?

I'd not let it run over 30 min... wait 3 min. then restart... next time when you see that, say NO, manually chekc the updates and view to see what they want to install...I have only seen this fail once, I simply reached behind and pulled the computer power cord... I had no problems.. hope you do not.
