somehow I have turned on automatic updates to install at 3:00 am.Trouble is,
the install stuffs my network and I have to go back to a previous restore
point to get my system working again. And the next night it happens all over
again.
I can't turn off automatic updates because nothing can be changed in the
auto update config tool.
The only way I have been able to stop the cycle is to stop the services
associated with auto update.
Anyone have any ideas?

Satinay,

That works for me too. If I have to update, I just turn on the auto
update service, reboot, and do my updates manually. Not allowing SP2,
choosing the custom install, you should be able to pick & choose which
updates you know won't booger your machine.
Can't you go to Start - Settings - Control Panel - System
Click the Automatic Update Tab and choose to turn it off?
Best,
Treeman

No, Nothing on the update is accessible. All is greyed out.
