So I spent a good portion of last night working on getting a DVD ready. I had downloaded the Wiedzmin TV series and had created a disk for the first four episodes, complete with a nice little menu and buttons and music and all that stuff. Using Ulead. I finally get it all finished... chapters created, buttons in place and programmed properly, everything converted and done, and I go to burn the disk. This takes forever since the videos have to be altered to the right format and such, so I go to bed.
I wake up, and my computer has been restarted. Oh. Windows update has automatically restarted my computer. Okay. I go to look at my disk, and nothing's on it. I guess it restarted before it could burn, or possibly in the middle of burning. Well that sure sucks. Then I go into Ulead to load up my project so I can try again, only to discover that the file is no longer there. Oh. I guess the several hours I spent trying to get it all set up was completely wasted. Thanks, Windows! And thanks to whatever fucking idiot at Microsoft decided it would be a great idea to avoid detecting whether or not my computer is actually in use for something before forcing it to restart for some worthless fucking update that I in no way even needed. I have no idea why Ulead decided that it would be great to destroy my saved project, either (which I saved numerous times), so I wouldn't mind taking a golf club to someone over there on the side.
So tired of this hand-holding bullshit. I'm an intelligent person, I'll tell you when my damned PC is ready to restart, and you won't restart it a moment before then. I've killed the process and stopped the service and done a billion things to shut this shit off, but it always comes back. I'm not sure you can even kill it with registry edits. I know people have tried, but I don't know if it continues to just come back.
