I can assure you from years of experience, every time you make something idiot-proof, the world will invent a better idiot.

This is a TRUE story... years ago... like, back in 1983... my wife used to work for Radio Shack when we were first married. An (older) customer came in and was asking about the computers the company had for sale at that time.. "CoCo's" (Color Computers) and various other Vic20ish machines. The customer pointed to a keyboard and asked what it was for, and my wife replied that it was used to tell the computer what to do. After a few minutes, while the customer continued to poke around, my wife walked away and let the customer explore the store some more. A few minutes later, she saw the customer bend over the keyboard and whisper, "Draw...a ... Christmas tree..."

...
...

I REALLy wish this wasn't a true story... but it is..

It is a bit mean, but still funny.

Edit: Also, why is "parking" hyphenated and on 2 lines? That bothers me. What a bother. I dislike this now.

Alright, so first open up My Computer twice
Now close the first one you opened
Click on the CD drive. Did it say no media? Good. Now open C:
Click on Program Files
Now go back... yeah, I know its weird
Now go to Windows
System32
cmd.exe
Type netstat -a and hit enter
This may take a bit, but let me know if anything in the local address says 127.0.0.1. It does? good.
Now type ipconfig /all and hit enter
How many times does it say "Media disconnected?" 3? Cool. Oh 4 actually? That's okay, too.
This time type cd c:\ and hit enter again
Now type tree and hit enter
There's a lot of stuff there, but scroll up and let me know when you find anything that says x86. It does? Good.

Now choose start, shutdown, install updates and restart and that message about pending updates should go away.
