At startup, Vista update will start and get blocked msg on "Full download 100% - do not turn off your computer". Last night on the left that it runs and it took 12.5 hours before finally coming out of the error status and asking for the password. Could not stop downloading progress with Task Manager/ctrl-alt-del, etc., unless you use the power button / stop. This severely limits the duration of use and if/when we are able to use it in an hour or two, it black screens and reboots restart fiasco together again.

I am extremely frustrated.
I recently bought a Toshiba Satellite laptop. It works fine, until today. My computer tried to update and in the process, failed. I wait now more than 4 hours on the same screen. Pressing F8 does nothing. I tried to restart. I can not open troubleshooting because the computer is stuck on the same screen. The circle to show that it is loading is always in motion and my mouse moves as well. I called MIcrosoft support and they told me to reboot and wait. It is, I already did, but they told me to do it again. I have some files I have would be broken lose. Help, please.
Hello
If you don't mind not to lose your files, turn the system off.
Turn off the computer. The next step, you will hear a shrill signal strong. Be prepared.
Press 0 (zero) key and power up the computer
Key 0 (zero) when the recovery warning screen
Press the F12 key during the appearance of the Toshiba logo
You should then see the Start Menu
Using the up/down arrow keys, select > HDD Recovery > press Enter
If offered a selection of Windows 32 or 64-bit, be sure that you select the correct operating system
You should be able to create a recovery media. Once you have installed Windows, click Search > Type recovery
You should see an option to create your own recovery discs
If this isn't the case, I suggest that order you them from Toshiba.

Hello.
First of all, I read this page - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/949358
It says this - "Note if this problem occurs, it may take 30 minutes to undo changes, and then the system will display the login screen Windows.»
But this is not true for me, I have nowhere near the logon screen. Earlier the PC rebooted, but is IMMEDIATELY returned to the exact same failure screen. There is a line.
A few notes:
(1) it is a G46VW mobile computer ASUS 'Republic of gamers ". I had 3 days. There is no DVD drive so I can't use any kind of boot disk.
(2) I have no attached removable media.
(3) I don't know how to get to any screen except that this form of failure, so do not know how to enter in a single command.
(4) all that happens is that I see the ASUS logo, then this screen failure immediately.
I'm panicking, it's all new. It has worked very well. I started it today, it has been updated slowly. I saw him at about 17%. Then I looked at a few hours later and saw that he was stuck in this process.
What can I do?

How can I get rid of this stupid message and have a normal boot. This took place yesterday, and it's a real pain. How can I get rid of this.
I had this problem 2 days in a row. Windows 7 Edition Home Premium. "Automatic updates" not ended and I got the same message on restart and had to wait for it to timeout.
I tried "manually" update, and that fixed the problem.
Go to the control panel. Click on system and security. Click on Windows Update and follow the instructions. I selected the updates recommended, installed and rebooted. Problem solved.
(I have no idea why this problem occurred. In the "Windows Update", I opened the "update history" and saw the 'Impossible' updates, but I don't dig deeper than that.)
