Tried to update in Windows Vista Home Premium, stuck in the "Configuring updates" and "reboot" loop 11/05/2011

Hello! I have a portable M-6752 Gateway under Vista Home Premium.  It was perfectly functional this morning 11/05/2011.  Then I noticed the sign (of exclamation in a circle) who said the new updates.  So I started the update and thought nothing of it.  It was until an hour later and I realize that my laptop was still updated.

Right now I am stuck in a loop between "Configuring updates: stage 3 of 3-0% complete.»  Do not turn off your computer' and auto restart.
I tried to restart in 'safe mode' and 'safe mode with network.  These attempts did not help.  I'm still stuck in the loop and my laptop is overheating.  The only thing I could do was to be able to.  Fact that several times already.
Fortunately, I have another laptop and is able to ask for help.  Can someone help me?  I'm NOT a technical person.  Thank you.

Thank you, but my laptop WAS running Service Pack 2 when this problem happened.  It has been resolved.  For anyone having this problem, here is my experience and solution.

When I found myself stuck in a loop and my laptop keeps restarting without giving an error message, it began to overheat.  I turned off.  When I turned on it again the screen "Advanced Boot Options" appeared.  I chose 'Safe Mode'.  Then, I went to "Configuring updates...". ».  Machine started himself reboot again.  It happened a few times.  Finally I had to turn the phone off again.  All of a sudden when I turned on again, the "Windows Error Recovery" screen comes on.  There is a choice, 'Launch Startup Repair'.  I chose this.  Machine asked me if it is allowed to create restore point.  Of course.  Then I GOT!  I was saved by Windows self-diagnosis program.
If you are not familiar with the screens that I mentioned, please search 'screen name' and the word 'image' as a whole.  You will see what these screens look like.
Now I realize there is another way to reach the Startup Repair.  When you turn on again, press the F8 key several times.  Which will bring you to the early Startup Options screen.  On advance Boot Options, there is a choice 'repair your computer', scroll down to this choice, press ENTER.
Turning off my machine during the restart is another way to force the "early start Options" screen appears.
I read that some do not have the "Repair your computer" option according to your PC in the screen «In advance Startup Options»  You will need to know how to get to the "Windows Error Recovery" screen.
As a last resort, you can restart Vista recovery disk.  Many manufacturers do not understand that when they send the PC for you.  However, it is available for download for free on the internet.  You can download and make your own within 30 minutes.  I hope this helps!

  • Taskbar Windows Vista Home Premium, changed to the classic color scheme after update.

    For some reason any my menu of the taskbar and start suddenly changed to the classic system of windows.

    I am running Windows Home Premium and have attempted to reverse to the standard vista scheme through customization > window color and appearance, but has only Windows Classic as an option.

    I also right click on the bar of tasks and disappeared on properties in this way, it shows the taskbar as the standard version of Vista but the taskbar is still in basic.

    I used the diagnosis of DirectX tool tests to see if an error has caused this, but it does not revisit what whatsoever, and my laptop recognizes that it runs Windows Home Premium.

    Also tried to restart, but nothing changes...

    The only thing that I think may be linked to this is after a recent update of the last time that I closed my laptop, but I don't see what update it was.

    Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

  • Windows 7 Home Premium, stuck in the update cycle

    My machine has been ask to update Win 10 for a while, but my computer office contributed to discourage users of the upgrade due to some problems (is my home PC, but I sometimes take care of office on this subject) software testing.

    A few days ago the process of upgrading to win 10 go really emphasizing and somehow automatically upgraded my machine (?).  I used the option to "return to my previous version" and I was apparently to Win 7 again.

    However, the machine insists I have pending updates and asking and sometimes restart, trying constantly to update, but nothing happens.  10 minutes after the restart he wants to do it again and again and again, like the groundhog day...

    I tried the Fixit and up-to-date diagnostic routines, but neither changed anything at all, even after several attempts.

    and did the sfc/scannow, who found nothing.

    I put the automatic update and wait for time to pass, nothing happened but she wants to always restart and restart and restart.

    My update log is displayed here:

    Hi Johnny,.

    Thanks for the reply.

    Method 1:

    Disconnect all external devices (printers, scanner, USB (universal serial bus) drives, etc.) except the keyboard and mouse and then start. If this solves the problem, then add back devices at a time until you discover the piece of hardware causing the issue. Then download software updated driver for the device.

    Method 2:

    Try to start in last good known Configuration and see if you can start very well.
