Go to control panel - automatic updates - and change it from automatic to one of the other choices.

Your version of XP must be different from mine, or perhaps it a laptop/desktop thing. I just finished a restore because of a bad Adobe update installation (third try for this one). I don't have to stop auto updates to run restore. The problem was that Netscape would close due to an error the first time I tried to start it after booting up the computer.
