  • My computer is stuck in the loop "Update Configuration". Boots only in safe mode.

    My computer is stuck in the loop "Update Configuration". Boots only in safe mode. I tried to do a system restore, but an error message appears that says:

    To perform an offline system restore, you must specify which Windows installation you want to restore. For example, if the installation is in "C:\Windows:" should be restored, enter the following command: rstrui.exe/OFFLINE:C\Windows

    I typed in the "run" command, and it didn't work either. VIsta came installed on the computer, so I don't have a disc to insert and reboot with. Help, please!

  • Satellite C660 - 115 Win7 update stuck in the loop. SOLVED!

    I have a Satellite C660-115 which is stuck in a loop "of despair".
    I am a COMPUTER engineer support and a customer brought this laptop of mine, who was stuck in a loop of repair Win7 (64-bit prem) that simply says Win7 could not be repaired.

    I backed up the profiles of subscribers using Hiren boot CD (done chkdsk as well - everything is OK), and then did a factory restore.
    No problem at all with the restoration.

    Started doing the updates for Win7; SP1 seems to install OK without errors.
    The system then picked up 37 Win7 updates automatically and asked to reset.
    Upon reboot, Win7 entered "drvload.exe" and started an auto repair.
    It took time and the system started OK, but without any sign of SP1, looks so much like system restore to an earlier point?

    I though this update to process 3 times now and each time after that a lot of auto update, the same sequence occurs.

    How to exit this loop? What is causing this problem, which I have never seen before?

    No software has been installed, other than that of the recovery process.
    I even uninstalled McAfee, just in case this could be a problem - no change.

    Ah, just took another look. It is stated in Win7 system registers that the restoration was caused by a corrupted file C:\ci.dll. Google to find it was a sign by a rootkit virus in the HARD Master Boot Record disk (the file ci.dll itself is NOT damaged). Found a fix tool

    http://support.Kaspersky.com/viruses/solutions?QID=208280684

    It identified the rootkit and removed.
    Seems to be OK now!

    Hope this post could help others.
    Of course, the factory restore does not erase the HDD MBR rootkit...

    Thanks for sharing!

  • Service pack update is stuck in the loop: 3 3 100%

    Hello.  My wife's cell phone is having this problem after trying to install Service Pack 1 for its Vista Home Premium.
    He joined 'Update 3 3 100% ', then he sits for a while before restarting the whole routine - again and again.  We tried to turn it off, and he took over just after turn it on again.  There is no error code.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi Dave,.

    Thanks for posting on the Microsoft answers Forums

    Press and hold the power button until your pc is turned off completely.
    then while the computer is turn on before it gets to the loading windows screen, press F8 key several times until you see
    These options
    (With the arrow keys and down, choose "Last known good configuration" then press enter)
    Safe mode
    Safe mode (with networking)
    Last known good configuration<>
    .
    .
    .
    If this does not work, restart your computer. Perform the same steps, but rather start in SafeMode with network. When you're on the desktop, try to do windows updates and stop and start again. After the updates installed successfully restart computer and boot up normally this time.
    When the computer comes back again to run updates again.

    Please post back and let us know if this information was useful or if you are still needing help.

  • My computer is stuck on the 3/3 update, and even if I force power off and restart, that just guard on that happening. What can I do?

    I run windows vista on my pc, and every time that I turn it on, it just sits on the 3/3 update and will not progress. Even when I force my PC to power off and restart it, it continues to be. The first time he tried this update, I have dropped about 3 hours and returned to the configuration to update: stage 3 of 3-0% screen. Since it always happens. My pc is unusable because of this. What can I do?

    .. .my computer came pre-installed with vista, so I do not have a disk

    Not that I recommend a repair install, but the manufacturer was required to provide a way to reinstall Windows. If the computer came with a set of disks, there is a hidden partition restore (not to be confused with the restoration of the system) you would use to reinstall Vista.

    Assuming that Vista SP2 is not installed, I recommend you open a free support incident, NIC. See the link in my previous answer. ~ Robear Dyer (PA Bear) ~ MS MVP (that is to say, mail, security, Windows & Update Services) since 2002 ~ WARNING: MS MVPs represent or work for Microsoft

  • Mail stuck in the loop. Cannot access same Mail preferences!

    Hello to you all. Can anyone help? I'm trying to set up Mail (in lieu of Thunderbird) I want to use the possibilities of synchronizing with Mail on my other Apple devices. The title says it all, and I have attached a screenshot of what I see. Impossible to do anything, except to force them to leave cannot even open Mail preferences! I'm on iMac with El Capitan Version 10.11.3 Mail Version 9.2 (3112). Henry

    Hi Aitchb65,

    Thank you for your participation in the communities of Support from Apple.

    I see that the mail is stuck in a loop and the opening of many windows unexpectedly. Try to run Mail in 'safe mode' by following these steps:

    Open Mail and immediately hold down the SHIFT key until the Mail is opened. This causes the Mail to open without any message or box to the selected letters.

    Of Mail if closes unexpectedly when displaying certain messages.

    If the Mail normally opens, try to update your SMTP settings -Mail (El Capitan): list of outgoing mail server settings.

    You can also delete email accounts in Mail preferences and start over after export and save all important messages. To help in this part, see Mail (El Capitan): Configure Mail with your email accounts and Mail (El Capitan): import / export the mailboxes.

    Sincerely.

  • Windows 8 stuck in the loop of auto repair

    Hey,.

    Yesterday, I restarted my computer after installing a program, then it started to do this, it will forever... My last pc I could press F11 or something and enter the system recovery, this PC it brings me to the uefi asrock configuration utility, which I have no idea what to do...

    I can't figure out how to start a system recovery, or how to get in safe mode, I know Win7 I could press F8 and choose my boot method, but that doesn't work here, and all I can find on google is how to start in safe mode when your computer is on and I can get on the desktop which is completely unnecessary, because when you use safe mode if your computer was working...

    Before this happened I used my task manager to modify some applications that run at startup, but it was like Samsung Kies and Adobe stuff, nothing to do with the system, and I don't think that it would anyway.

    Then I was installing tortoisesvn on reboot, this happened...

    It's the time of the final, I need to come back on this PC
