    Hey Janeynflorida

    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.

    I'm stuck on the screen that says "do not turn off or unplug the machine, install update 1 of 26" it has been like that for 4 hours.

    Chode_Muncher,
    That suggested Andre, that's when you go into Windows Update, you can choose to display updates are available.  In the list, you can then select the updates to install.  You must then select only 2 or 3 then restarts once they have installed.  Repeat this process until all updates are installed.

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

  • Update to SP3 stuck on installing update 2 of 3 to 12 hours

    The message installing update 2 of 3, without shutting down your computer.  What should I do?
    Will it hurt if I shut down and re boot?

    Reboot & see what happens.

    You can view the log of the Malicious Software Removal Tool if you're curious. It is usually located...

    C:\WINDOWS\Debug\MRT. LOG <>

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Tip: Ideally, you would never, EVER use system restore to 'Cancel' an update, Service Pack, or upgrade of IE! Instead, uninstall the update, Service Pack, or the IE patch & reboot. If that does not resolve the problem, then try System Restore.

    Tip: Should choose a good Restore Point will leave you with a "restore incomplete. Your computer cannot be restored... "error, see http://bertk.mvps.org/html/symantecdoc1.html

    During a normal shutdown, I got the message updates were insalled (Vista Home Premimum).  For two hours, I was stuck on the installation of updagte 4 of 7.  How should I proceed.  Power off, to let him stay or what?  If I turn it off, which option to choose on a reboot?

    klh1955,
    If you are still having this problem, then normally choose the boot option and see if it will fill or load normally.  If you enter Windows and not all updates have been installed, you can install the updates one at a time and see if one of them is having a problem.
