    Every time I go to restart, or shut down my T61, I have to do a few up grades. First off, what is it upgrading, second, can I skip it?

    what operating system are you using?
    if it's vista, then you probably can't skip the upgrades unless you uninstall the updates.
    did you download any updates lately?

    It`s probably the WU message thing.
    It`s harmless and quite recommended. Sure, it does take a little longer to close the thing, but it`s better to update.

    You can set it so it notifies you and asks your permission to install the update. But there's nothing wrong with it doing that. :cool:

    It's just Windows updates. You can set it so that it won't download them unless you tell it to.
