Lenova T400, Vista operating system, it started when I was doing preventive maintenance R & R.  Stuck in a loop with return to the screen: "Configuring updates: stage 3 3-0%", then after a few minutes, it will restart then finally back to 3 of 3 screen. I could open in safe mode, but not now.  If I can get normal start, I was able to install Windows 7 or troubleshoot.  Question: 1 How can I do this and 2. belongs to the view of Windows operating system, the system Lenova GOLD? Thanks JR

Hello

the upgrade is not always a good way to correct errors

you often take them with the upgrade or errors interfere with the upgrade

and Yes, it must be in normal mode to upgrade

Updates configuration is normally a process of updating microsoft windows

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.

Contact the computer manufacturer and ask them to send vista recovery discs

they do it for a nominal cost of $

also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought

you would normally press F10 or F11 or Alt + F10, 0 at startup to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer

Ask them of the exact key sequence

  • 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.

    Windows Vista and 7 update Reboot Loop Fix

    Symptom: You have a update that is causing Windows Vista or Windows 7, stuck in an infinite loop. The problem usually manifests as a "step 3 of 3:0 % complete...". "followed by a restart which starts at the exact same message, not allowing you to get on your account of connection or a desktop at all.

    The other way is to download a live Linux distribution such as the System of Tritech Service (which, unlike Vista or 7 DVD, can be booted from a USB flash drive for computers with no CD/DVD drive such as netbooks), open a command prompt, mount the file system and deleting the files. Assuming that your Windows installation is the first partition on the first hard disk, the following commands in rxvt or a console in the Tritech Service system should work:

    Anyway you do it, this solution will stop the engine update loop reboot and let you return to your computer. You may need to make some corrections, additional or manual updates if you have problems, but unless your login screen and/or the Office should be accessible! Is a very annoying problem and I noticed that Google is looking for things like "stage of vista 3 3 restart" usually only provides information about how to run the system on a Vista DVD restore. Unfortunately, if there is a problem with an update, sometimes the system restore does not work and fail with obscure errors, so this info is vital.

    Maybe it's your last chance to avoid giving to the top and reinstalling Windows, and we always like avoiding relocations!

  • Satellite A660 - 11 M stuck in a loop when installing recovery

    Hi all.

    I am now under a procedure of recovery for A660 - 11M. I used a bought at Toshiba Recovery CD.
    Everything was going well until the recovery is stuck in the loop of ' * now System Performance Rating *'.

    I found a similar case, where a person has solved problem of forced reboot. I did, too, but when he turned, the loop began.

    I wonder if there is anyway to stop this notation. It does not seem very important ultimately.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    You must re-run the HARD drive recovery.
    This means you must turn on the device
    -Press F8
    -then choose fix my computer
    -Then choose HARD drive recovery and
    -Retrieve the State of the box.

    Hi Aitchb65,

    Thank you for your participation in the communities of Support from Apple.

    I see that the mail is stuck in a loop and the opening of many windows unexpectedly. Try to run Mail in 'safe mode' by following these steps:

    Open Mail and immediately hold down the SHIFT key until the Mail is opened. This causes the Mail to open without any message or box to the selected letters.

    Of Mail if closes unexpectedly when displaying certain messages.

    If the Mail normally opens, try to update your SMTP settings -Mail (El Capitan): list of outgoing mail server settings.

    You can also delete email accounts in Mail preferences and start over after export and save all important messages. To help in this part, see Mail (El Capitan): Configure Mail with your email accounts and Mail (El Capitan): import / export the mailboxes.

    Sincerely.

  • Satellite C660 - 115 Win7 update stuck in the loop. SOLVED!

    I have a Satellite C660-115 which is stuck in a loop "of despair".
    I am a COMPUTER engineer support and a customer brought this laptop of mine, who was stuck in a loop of repair Win7 (64-bit prem) that simply says Win7 could not be repaired.

    I backed up the profiles of subscribers using Hiren boot CD (done chkdsk as well - everything is OK), and then did a factory restore.
    No problem at all with the restoration.

    Started doing the updates for Win7; SP1 seems to install OK without errors.
    The system then picked up 37 Win7 updates automatically and asked to reset.
    Upon reboot, Win7 entered "drvload.exe" and started an auto repair.
    It took time and the system started OK, but without any sign of SP1, looks so much like system restore to an earlier point?

    I though this update to process 3 times now and each time after that a lot of auto update, the same sequence occurs.

    How to exit this loop? What is causing this problem, which I have never seen before?

    No software has been installed, other than that of the recovery process.
    I even uninstalled McAfee, just in case this could be a problem - no change.

    Ah, just took another look. It is stated in Win7 system registers that the restoration was caused by a corrupted file C:\ci.dll. Google to find it was a sign by a rootkit virus in the HARD Master Boot Record disk (the file ci.dll itself is NOT damaged). Found a fix tool

    http://support.Kaspersky.com/viruses/solutions?QID=208280684

    It identified the rootkit and removed.
    Seems to be OK now!

    Hope this post could help others.
    Of course, the factory restore does not erase the HDD MBR rootkit...
