For all I experienced: With "important" updates you have some 15 minutes to
answer the dialog otherwise the machine is shut down regardless of the
applications running. Only if you enter the update option and change this
behaviour you have a chance to save your work. It's a Windows issue since XP I
think. And it has nothing do to with the running application. Recently I had a
shutdown of this kind with a machine which is usually not connected to the net
and I was in need to use a network printer... No POV running at this time.

The issue with the missing link seems to be a browser issue (I use IE 9 so far).
The problem with the +c is of course a problem with POV and a solution would be
nice, but IMO not a severe problem.

Best regards,
Michael
