Last update of Vista stuck in step 3/restart loop

I have Vista Business system on a Toshiba laptop, latest Service Pack and with all updates.  He was fully functional when I finally stopped him.  I started just to step 3 to find the page: an update of Windows.  0% indicated progress, then it restarts and opens to the same page again.  Stuck in this loop.  Have tried using F8 to get the last proper installation and prevent automatic reboot, without success, it just keeps returning to the page step 3 and restarts.  Tried to repair systems which offered a system restore, but that wouldn't start.  Repair of the system now just continues to show progress (for 3/4 of an hour) without HD activity.  I stopped him and it still restarts at the same stadium page 3.

Road map:

http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/949358

Use the system recovery options to rename the Pending.xml file and change
the register:

In the System Recovery Options page, click command prompt.

Type cd C:\windows\winsxs, and then press ENTER.

Type ren pending.xml pending.old, and then press ENTER.

Type regedit and press ENTER.

Select HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.

On the file menu, click on load the hive.

Look for the following folder:

C:\windows\system32\config\components

When you are prompted for a name, type Offline_Components.

In the registry editor, locate and then delete the following registry
subkey:

HLKM\Offline Components\AdvancedInstallersNeedResolving

HKLM\Offline Components\PendingXmlIdentifier

Exit the Registry Editor:

At the command prompt, type exit to quit the registry editor.

Press ENTER.

Click on restart.

Good answer for me if the procedure worked.

    Hello

    Disconnect any attached external devices.

    If you use a third-party antivirus disable and then install updates and check.

    Temporarily turn off the firewall and antivirus software and try to install the updates.
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/disable-antivirus-software#1TC=Windows-Vista

    Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable the antivirus software. If you do not disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network at the time the anti-virus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

    If this does not help, then I suggest you to put the computer in a clean boot state and then install. Start your computer in a clean boot state, you can reduce conflicts between software and help identify the root cause of the problem. You can read this article for more information:

    Answer 1: Try to restart the computer by pressing command + R. This should start the mac in recovery mode and will allow you to reinstall OS X (don't worry it'll only reinstall the operating system, your files will not be deleted)

    Answer 2: Can elaborate you more on what is the iCloud premium Amazon.com for photos? I've never heard of this, what error do you get?

    Answer 3: Open Bootcamp Wizard and choose the option "Remove Windows 7/XP"

    Answer 4: Mackeeper is ransomware. AKA. a scam, don't pay for it. You can use tools such as OmniDiskSweeper, which is free and shows you what are the elements take place on your mac so that you can delete what you don't want.

    Answer 5: If you have iCloud library activated under iCloud, then your images will be automatically uploaded to iCloud and equipment associated with your Apple ID.

    I would like to know if this helped you / resolved questions. Thank you!

  • Stuck at step 2 updated configuration

    I have vista home prem 64 bit, it was automatic updates and did last night, I don't know what he was trying to load.  He is stuck at step 2 of 3 Configuration of updates, it says 100% full and do not turn off your computer.  It has been like this since at least 6-7 hours last night.

    What to do?

    Hi Randy,

    It's been a while, we can think that the update is stuck and will not continue any further.  You can press Ctrl, Alt & Del and open Task Manager.  You should see the update on the Application tab, and you can select it and press end task.

    Click on the start ORB > Control Panel > programs and features, on the left, select view installed updates and see if the update that was being Setup finished installing.  If it does not have and does not appear on the list, you can restart your computer and try to install the update mode without failure.

    To do this, restart your pc and even if your pc is booting press the key F8 on your keyboard to enter the Advanced Boot Options menu.  On the Advanced Boot Options menu, select Safe Mode and press ENTER.

    Your computer will boot mode safe by using only the basic drivers and services, hopefully allowing Windows Update to complete the installation of the update, you are having problems with.

    Please let us know if you are making progress in this way.

  • Update Windows, stuck at step 3 of 3, does not start

    Hello

    Reading the forums, so it seems I'm not the only one who had this problem, but none of the data seems to work for me.

    My computer is running slow this morning (as sometimes when he treats a large update), so I restarted.  But now, whenever the system tries to start, it gets insofar as the message 'configuration updated step 3 of 3, 0% ' before it restarts in total.

    I am running Windows Vista Home Premium - I think that it is 32-bit, but I'm not positive.  I have a laptop HP Pavilion DV6345us.

    I tried all suggested fixes, I found.  I tried to launch the Mode without failure (all versions of it), but every time it's the same thing.  I've never had to simplified office, I think I'm supposed to see.  I tried the system restore, but none of the dozen or so restoration work points.  After each attempt to restore the system, I get this error message: data error (Cyclic Redundancy Check) (0 x 80070017).

    My last update was added on 06/05/10 at 09:16:38.  My last update before that was 05/03/10 at 14:31:18.  My time zone is set to GMT - 8:00 (or Pacific time).  Between the Windows updates, I downloaded an update for Java (Java 6 update 20) 04/05/10.

    I have also run the memory diagnostic tool, but that has not changed anything.

    I do not have any third-party malware or anti-virus software.

    This is all the relevant information, I think I can give.  Any comments would be greatly appreciated, because I use my computer for work and need again as soon as POSSIBLE.

    Thank you!

    I do not have any third-party malware or anti-virus software.

    Not good.

    Personal data backup (which none should be considered 100% reliable at this point) then format the HARD disk and do a clean install of Windows.  Please note that a repair installation (upgrade AKA on-site) will NOT fix it!

    How TO do a clean install of Vista: See the section "If you want to reinstall Windows Vista by running a new installation... "of http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/Installing-and-reinstalling-Windows-Vista

    Once installed the clean, you will have the equivalent of a "new computer" in order to take care of everything on the next page before connecting the machine to the internet or one local network (i.e. other computers) otherwise and before using a flash drive or the SD card that is not brand new, or has not been freshly formatted:

    Try to make a fairly significant update for Vista - I think I had about 24 updates total.  For the last two hours, although it is stuck at 34%.  I'm not sure what to do, either wait it out or try to reboot/restore to an earlier point.  I also searched and did not find any similar problem (this is not the same as restarting without end about 0%).  I'm starting to think that it will never go beyond this point.  Any input or help would be greatly appreciated.

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