    Im having a problem with my windows update on my dv6000t laptop. For some reason It makes me install the same two updates each time and within 3 minutes the yellow shield is back up for me to update again. Here are the two updates:

    I even restarted the laptop after the install and it still pops up, then I noticed that on my external harddrive i was getting some random folders.
