Microsoft has released several new critical updates for Office 2007 and Vista. As a result, you may experience multiple reboots during the early part of next week while these updates are downloaded by your computer and installed. If you're working on sensitive or important files during these updates, you will be able to delay the reboot process when prompted for the next two weeks, after which time your computer will automatically reboot itself. Vista computers may need to immediately reboot after the Vista update is installed.
Please note that shutting your computer down may be delayed up to one hour after you attempt to power down your computer. If you don't take your computer home with you, simply leave the computer on to install these updates and allow it to shut itself down. If you use a laptop that you frequently take home, please allow time in the next week or so to allow your computer to fully download and install these updates after you shut down your computer.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. If you have any questions, please contact the IT Help Desk at 573-341-HELP.
