Version: v 6.2
Questions: 

I have just completed an update from 6.1 to 6.2 on an 
Alpha 3000/800, using the preserve option of the update.
Now when I end a session the system reboots and if the 
login from the login Window is incorrect the system 
reboots.
   Everything else, all our programs, seems to run fine.

   Thanks for your help.

   This appears a known bug, likely in the SYS$GPADRIVER.EXE device driver.

   There is (should be) a patch available for this problem available at
   DIGITAL's web site, or via an Open3D update kit, or via DIGITAL customer
   support center.

   The PXG is not supported in OpenVMS Alpha V7.0 and later.
