  Hey Janeynflorida

  1st thing to try is a restoration of the system in safe mode

  http://www.windowsvistauserguide.com/system_restore.htm

  Windows Vista

  Using the F8 method:

  1. Restart your computer.
  2. When the computer starts, you will see your computer hardware are listed. When you see this information begins to tap theF8 key repeatedly until you are presented with theBoot Options Advanced Windows Vista.
  3. Select the Safe Mode option with the arrow keys.
  4. Then press enter on your keyboard to start mode without failure of Vista.
  5. To start Windows, you'll be a typical logon screen. Connect to your computer and Vista goes into safe mode.
  6. Do whatever tasks you need and when you are done, reboot to return to normal mode.

  I guess that part of the question could be a driver which is really old or similar should not be loaded.

  This exit Windows updates on (after you have access) and stop the updates of the driver to load.

• Configuring updates step 3 of 3. 0% complete

  I realize that there may be several other threads on this topic but, having looked around the web, none of the solutions proposed (including the 949358 section of Microsoft) works for me.

  My sons laptop has Vista pre-installed (no disk). When I use F8 and use Safe or last good known Configuration, it goes through those but then try to install the update 3 who sends in a loop!

  The Microsoft Article does not either because it suggests, by clicking on START, but the computer has not got to the point where the MARKET is available when trying to install the update!

  I should add that my son got an important (and long) piece of schoolwork on the computer that we can't access now!

  I am very few impressive COMPUTER skills so all thought VERY welcome!

  Thank you

  As is the case with most computers/laptops these days, they do not come with good Vista disc to repair only the recovery disks.

  If yours falls into the category above: download the ISO on the provided link and do a repair of the disc.

• Configuring updates step 3 of 3. 0% complete - SYSTEM REBOOT

  This problem has been identified by Microsoft, but I can't start my computer in safe mode and it keeps giving the message above, then restarting.  The computer was pre-installed with Vista, and therefore, I don't have an installation disc.  I can't contact Microsoft Help about access to the id of the product I need to get into the computer system and I can't get past this error message.  Can anyone help because I do not see a recovery of the entire system from the CD I have which means that I will lose all my data, so I might as well do what I want to do that is to throw the machine out the window. I can only access the help on the internet using a different computer, so cannot even download patches that help the computer itself.   Please, please help!

  As is the case with most computers/laptops these days, they do not come with good Vista disc to repair only the recovery disks.

  Like your grave in the category above (you don't mention having a Vista DVD): download the ISO on the provided link and do a repair of the disc.

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.
