Home premium Vista - updated will not configure
I am running Vista Home Premium 64-bit. Automatic updates downloaded last night (25.11.9) and my computer has restarted. BUT the configuration of these updates is not intervened. The screen just says
Configuration of updates: step 1 of 3-0% complete.
Do not turn off your computer.

Thanks, Simone

Windows 7 Home Premium software updates will not download?
I run Windows 7 Home Premium on my Toshiba laptop. When you try to download the current software updates. I click on the button to start the download. The green color bar graph begins to move from left to right, showing that its in the download process, BUT the percentage meter does not turn. After 10 minutes to 15 minutes, he is still on 0%. It looks like his tent, but nothing happens. In the past its slow summer during download of new updates, but it worked. Had to stop the download.
Anyone has a solution.

I bought a copy the retail of Windows 7 premium (updated version) upgrade on Vista Home Premium SP2on my 3 yr old HP Pavilion Desktop on 22/10/2009. Vista has been installed at the factory. The PC more than meets all hardware reqs. I tried 4 or 5 times to upgrade the operating system on this PC & it runs fine until the process to halfway in step 5 in the upgrade and stops. I forgot the exact message, but it's like 'cannot be upgraded pc, abandoned process, will now restore the Vista installation. After this x 4-5 in the last seven days, I'm sick of what's going on. I've been building & PC repair & installation, configuration, and upgrade Windows since Windows 3.1 and Dos operating system. The Win 7 installation routine is so demanding that if all the program requirements are not met (for the latter)-it just stops and is abandoned. I've never had this kind of trouble before. NEVER Yes, I use the on-line support docs & Software Advisor compatibility. I've never seen an OS that just works! Absolutely amazing! I also tried this on my computer Lenovo laptop lastnight - same thing!
Hi Jim,.
Thanks for the information. You said you ran Upgrade Advisor several times on both machines. This show no error every time? Also, I would recommend unisntalling any antivirus that you have currently and to help clean up the provided utilities if any, of the antivirus manufacturer. In addition, unplug all unnecessary devices such as printer, network cable or any other devices you have.
I hope this helps!

Went from Windows 10 back to Windows 7 Home Premium: Windows Update does not work
After trying Windows 10 for 3 weeks... I found it too difficult to navigate in... and it does not work with some of my old programs... especially, my Apple Airport Express Utility would not work... could not enter and update the passwords for WiFi networks...
HOWEVER, very important, my wife was really upset to lose his old classic games... AND she had a devil of a time trying to browse... Happy woman... Happy life...
So I followed the instructions to return to my old Windows 7 Home Premium... no problem... except that I had to go back and load old games for woman... AND now in Windows 7 when I try and do the 22 7 window updates I missed 3 weeks I was in 10 Windows... it will bring up as an 'Update '... "Download Windows Upgrade 10 '... I spent hours trying different solutions... to hide files, removal of the old updates, etc. without success... I give up...
I noticed that some updates are for 'security'... and I don't know if I can trust Norton to protect me without updates...
I guess my question would be WHEN MICROSOFT WILL CORRECT "THEIR PROBLEM"? So I can update my computer... without going in circles with Windows 10?

Windows Update tried to install 4 days now. Every time he tries it tells me it failed and trying to install in manually. He said then the laptop restarts, but it does not start. Startup Repair tells me that it cannot solve the problems.
I don't know how to go beyond this problem, can someone help me? I have no disk Vista as it came pre-installed on my laptop. Help, please!If your Vista is preinstalled, ANY support for your laptop is the manufacturer of the computer, not Microsoft.
Try this:
Restore point:
Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.
Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...
Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If restore work not and you do not have a Vista DVD from Microsoft, do a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:
Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.
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.
When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial148.html
Link above shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.
NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.
Read all the info on the website on how to create and use it.
http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/
ISO Burner: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html
It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.
You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.
It is NOT a disc of resettlement.
And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
How to get Vista recovery Media or the Vista recovery Partition on your computer back to factory settings.
There is no Vista free download legal available.
Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.
Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.
In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.
See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.
Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...
Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.
