Configure the message that I don't understand

My son has an Acer laptop with Windows Vista as the operating system.  We do not know why, but now when it turns on the machine, a screen lights up with the message - configuring updates: stage 3 of 3-0% complete.  After a few seconds of this, the screen becomes black and continues to operate that way for several minutes until the process repeats.  We do not know what to do to replace it: it's just in a loop.   It was working fine last night so it intrigued us.  If anyone has a suggestion on how to solve this problem, it would be greatly appreciated.

Hello

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.
