  Before closing my lap top, I did 8 automatic windows updates. The next day I had turned on the lap top and other 3 automatic updates had started to download, but when configuring the update a prompt indicates "configuration updates stage 3 of 3 0% complete. Do not turn off your computer ". A few moments later, the laptop restarts and then returns to "configuration updates stage 3 of 3 0% complete. Do not turn off your computer "and restarts again, this continues each time. I'm unable to advance in the journal on stage. Can you help me?

• Vista - error message: configuration of updates "step 3 of 3-57% full. Do not turn off your computer. »

  Vista Basic

  As stated above I get this error message and can not do in SafeMode to rstore system dates back to an earlier era.

  I did the system of tapping F8 and tried all offered options of safe mode, but it does not open in any safe mode, just this error message

  I read a lot of forums and other people with a similar problem (but more than 2 years ago!) could be accessed in secure mode or had a Vista system drive which gave a repair option.

  I have neither.  Even the "External recovery Media" disc only allows me to do save and restart.  During the reboot it just goes straight to the error message.

  At the start, I have the option (via F2) for open System Utilities but couldn't see whatever it is in there that I thought might help.

  ALL IDEAS _ SOMEONE PLEASE!

  See you soon

• OS Vista - configuring updates: stage 3 of 3-0% complete. Do not turn off your computer.

  My laptop ACER Aspire 5610 in a loop of update configuration for three days now.  Don't have a Vista installation CD as provider did the installation.  Have tried all the safe mode restarts without success.  The display is still in phase 3 of 3 endless loop.  Ideas to fix/repair or recover data from disk hard 160 GB I need to keep?

  I want to thank everyone for friendly advice and assistance information.  After a few days (of frustration for me) and your continuous encouragement, I have finally overcome this "infinite loop".

  What worked for me was downloading neosmart.net for work properly CD/DVD burner.  I tried initially using my office old CD drive, but I forgot that it was a device to read-only and wouldn't be able to burn a copy of the restore CD.  I found a DVD burner work to correctly copy download neosmart.net.

  It took several boots cold on the laptop with the recovery CD as well as access 'shift F6', then quickly by "any key" for the necessary recovery menu.

  On Google, I noticed that this "configuration updates: stage 3 of 3-0% complete." has been on Vista for 2008.  It is almost of 2012 and it always creates problems?

  America happy Thanksgiving!

• Updates configuration: phase 2 of 3-100% full. Do not turn off your computer. Don't know what to do next!

  I have a 503WM Compaq Presario with Windows Vista Home Premium, which has problems after a Windows updated today.  First of all, I have installed .NET Framework (3.5?).  Windows Update started and downloaded a few other updates, and then asked to restart my computer - on restart received the updates configuration message, but when you have to configure the updates: phase 2 of 3-100% full.  Do not turn off your computer, nothing happens--or my hard drive internal or external are doing something and Ctrl-Alt-Del does nothing.  What should I do next?

  Before that, I installed Hallmark Card Studio 2010 Deluxe and received an error message 2738.  Followed the instructions on Microsoft to add two files that had to do with the VB script.  Hallmark installation instructions downloaded then installed .NET Framework 3.5.  The update of Windows has started and installed (I think) 4 critical updates.
