• My computer is stuck in the loop "Update Configuration". Boots only in safe mode.

  My computer is stuck in the loop "Update Configuration". Boots only in safe mode. I tried to do a system restore, but an error message appears that says:

  To perform an offline system restore, you must specify which Windows installation you want to restore. For example, if the installation is in "C:\Windows:" should be restored, enter the following command: rstrui.exe/OFFLINE:C\Windows

  I typed in the "run" command, and it didn't work either. VIsta came installed on the computer, so I don't have a disc to insert and reboot with. Help, please!

• My computer is stuck in a loop-it starts, the Welcome screen appears, I click on my name and made it appear my desktop background, but not icons. It then saves automatically power off. I started using the safe, but it's still just the power loop.

  Windows XP is my operating system.  My computer is a desktop Dell Dimension 457.  I think I must have got a virus/malware.  Please help me to access my computer!

  First of all, open and print this article from Microsoft - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555648

  East of the fault of the only thing that I can see the information about adding the userinit.exe line - they forgot to include a comma at the end of the registry key.  So this print and add a comma with your pen to ink so that when you return as a result of this document you will not forget to register.

  Now, do a search to find and download BART PE to create a BART PE Boot disk (boot from the CD-Rom drive).

  Before you create the BART PE Boot disk, download and install Spybot Search and Destroy.  Then do a update to get all the updates to ensure that you have all the latest definitions for Spybot.  When you create the BART PE Boot disk - make sure you include the Spybot folder you have just downloaded and installed.

  I think that if you download and install LavaSoft Ad Aware Free will take place as well. Just download, install and do the updates it as well... Be sure to include this issue as well when you create BART PE Boot disk.

  Now, once you have created with these extra utilities startup disk, boot from the CD.

  Change the registry as a result of the above Microsoft article.  To enter the registry once BART PE CD is loaded, click on the GO button and click RUN and type REGEDIT and press ENTER.  When the registry opens, click the HKEY_USERS.  In the menu, and then click FILE.  Then click LOAD HIVE.  Then navigate to C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\Software - note: the software is the name of the hive file registry you want to open.  When it is open, be sure to give it a name that MyHive will work.

  Follow the rest of the Microsoft Article in the link above to change the registry values.

  Once you have finished editing the registry, go back and click on the name of MyHive, then click file and unload the hive before leaving.

  Once this is done, then go to the command prompt, navigate to the executables to run Spybot, let it find and delete everything it can.  Then, if it will run - run the executable file for AD - AWARE Free Edition.  Let find and delete what it can.  I don't remember whether or not AD-AWARE will run on boot CD.  I know that Spybot is going.

  I suggest you to start in safe mode with support for network at this point.  I had good luck with my problems in this way.
  I hope that it will arrive where you can connect at LEAST.  Once in safe mode with network support I would then suggest to go to www.microsoft.com/protect and going to the PC or the PC security, regardless of the title/link is.  Then perform a free scan with Microsoft One Care Live.

  ON CHANGE:

  Oh... also, in the Microsoft article, there may be the drive letter as the X: drive... won't talk down and belittle everyone and their intelligence... I know that some people can be so literal and making a mistake in following the instructions is not an indicator of intelligence... but the X: should be C: or what is the letter of your boot drive... I know that for most, if not all here is a given but would not be a mistake bonehead by someone...

  Thank you... and it will be useful...

• Computer is stuck on 36 of 41 updates Windows 7 Home Premium

  I did a reboot on my PC and appearantly were 41 new updates that needed to be done.  PC is stuck on 36 of the 41 and has been for about 2 hours now.  How to get out of it without destroying my OS as seeking answers on that it seems that the warning of "do not turn off or unplug your machine" seems to be a serious warning as if you don't you will be restarted from the beginning.  I just bought this PC and have everything (files and music) from my old PC transferred and really don't want to have to go through it again at least for a few years.

• My computer is stuck on the 3/3 update, and even if I force power off and restart, that just guard on that happening. What can I do?

  I run windows vista on my pc, and every time that I turn it on, it just sits on the 3/3 update and will not progress. Even when I force my PC to power off and restart it, it continues to be. The first time he tried this update, I have dropped about 3 hours and returned to the configuration to update: stage 3 of 3-0% screen. Since it always happens. My pc is unusable because of this. What can I do?

  .. .my computer came pre-installed with vista, so I do not have a disk

  Not that I recommend a repair install, but the manufacturer was required to provide a way to reinstall Windows. If the computer came with a set of disks, there is a hidden partition restore (not to be confused with the restoration of the system) you would use to reinstall Vista.

  Assuming that Vista SP2 is not installed, I recommend you open a free support incident, NIC. See the link in my previous answer. ~ Robear Dyer (PA Bear) ~ MS MVP (that is to say, mail, security, Windows & Update Services) since 2002 ~ WARNING: MS MVPs represent or work for Microsoft

• I did not have enough room to update so I'm stuck in a loop of update

  I have a computer but I have a hard drive that is too small, after shutting down my computer down it wanted to update, but the hard drive doesn't have enough space to update. Is it possible for me to say to the computer I want to update?

  Thank you

  What is the size of the disk hard that is installed on Windows 8?

  If you do not have enough space, you will have to try to create some:

  -Uninstall the older programs.

  -Archiving of files, photos, videos on an external hard drive.

  -Remove the old system restore points and reduce the amount of space drive, that system restore uses

  Press the Windows key + X

  Click System

  Click on advanced system settings

  Click on the System Protection

  Click on configure

  Under disk space use, slide the button to reduce the amount of space used by system restore

  - Clean the disc run

  Hi sake,.

  Welcome to the Microsoft Answers site.

• Has managed to recover from the infinite loop restart Vista SP1 "configuration updates stage 3 of 3 0%"- but Windows Update always wants me to install Vista SP1!

  WIndows Update asks me to install Vista SP1. I did and got into the infamous infinite loop of SP1 (infinite loop ' configuration updates stage 3 of 3 0% "with Vista SP1). I used F8 to repair my computer, and I chose a restore before the SP1 update point has been installed. The restore point has been applied successfully, so I have the computer in the back. Super. However, Windows Update wants me reinstall Vista SP1. Needless to say, I am reluctant to do so. But I want to be aware of the Windows updates. What do I do? TIA

  (With the help of Vista Home Premium)

  This gives a whirlwind:

  1. download the Norton Removal Tool, save it to your desktop: ftp://ftp.symantec.com/public/english_us_canada/removal_tools/Norton_Removal_Tool.exe

  1B. download the tool McAfee Consumer Product Removal, save it to your desktop: http://download.mcafee.com/products/licensed/cust_support_patches/MCPR.exe

  2. close all open applications (that is, anything with an icon on the taskbar).

  3. right click on the file that you saved in # 1 above and select run as administrator to run the utility. DO TAP not your keyboard until the race ends, then restart.

  4. right click on the file that you saved in # 1 b above and select run as administrator to run the utility. DO TAP not your keyboard until the race ends, then restart.

  5. ensure that the http://support.microsoft.com/kb/955430 and http://support.microsoft.com/kb/947821 have been installed. (If they were, they would belong to installed updates. If they don't, try to manually download/install.
