Re: Computer reboots
Dont know which OS, can't get hold of him. It only happens when he opens IE, which is set up to connect via dial-up as it opens. A little box pops up that states "you have 59 secs to reboot"

Re: Computer reboots
Sounds like MSBlast, must be XP or 2k.
You need to get the blast fix from the M$ website, burn it to CD, and get him to run it when he's disconnected to the net. I presume he's got Dial up then?
Link to the download;

Re: Computer reboots
Disable the Messenger service in the mean time this will stop reboots.
This has nothing to do with Windows or MSN messenger.
Go Start -> Run then type services.msc - look for messenger and disable it.
If it starts to shutdown - goto Start -> run and type shutdown -a
