    So I've been having this issue for a while, but it seemed really hit or miss as to when it might or might not happen.

    Basically, I have my computer (in the sig) set to auto update at 3 am. It downloads, it tries to install, and then promptly fails every morning. Then, at some point after I get tired of the little icon in my taskbar, I try it myself and then Maybe... just maybe, it installs successfully.

    I've tried messing with settings on autoupdate, sleep mode and harddrive turning off in case that was an issue, but I've seen no change. It's getting a little bit aggrevating now with 8 updates downloaded and waiting to be installed, so any help that people can offer would be greatly appreciated.

    I'm running ZoneAlarm, and AVG in case those make a difference. I'm sorry, but I don't know what other info is necessary but I'll be sure to answer any questions! Thanks in advance!
