  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.

• Windows Update step 3 of 3 0% is frozen... Could not load in desktop

  My computer is a Sony Vaio with Windows Vista Home Edition laptop

  At the moment I do not have the restore disc supplied with my Sony Vaio and try all the options which give rise to RECOVER all my files and data from my computer. It is important that I have recover my files and if I do I'll be sure to save them.

  The problem:

  On June 28, 2010 all about Windows had begun an automatic update while the computer was left on all night. In the morning when I got back to my computer, there was a continuous loop of trying to load an automatic update said "Configuration updates stage 3 of 3-0%"... do not turn off the computer and after it fails to load, it starts to restart my computer and he made this more and more. If I finish the cycle by removing the power source and then back on manually, I have the opportunity to start my computer in safe mode or normally. I tried the 3 modes without danger and they all have the same result, i.e. the loop continues to try to complete step 3 of 3 in the update. I pressed F8 and tried to start with the "last known good configuration" but which also has the same result. I was also able to go to a vaio through F8 menu that gave me the opportunity to perform a system restore. When I restored it to an earlier date, the only change that happened was when the computer starts and started the update (as before)... I would say first "step 1 of 3 0%", then it would jump to the "step 3 of 3 0%" as before and after a minute should restart and continue the loop.  I am unable to do the user connection point because the update starts before.

  Please let me know if there is anything else I can do. If there is anything else, then please let me know what I'd do once I am able to get my Sony recovery disk (I won't be able to get it for a few months). I really need to get my files back.

  Thank you very much

  Follow these steps to try to solve your problems of boot.

   

  Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

  When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

  http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial148.html

  Link above shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.

  NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

  Read all the info on the website on how to create and use:

  http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

  ISO Burner:http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html

  It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.

  You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

  It is NOT a disc of resettlement.

  And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.

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

  Data recovery:

  1. slave of your hard drive in another computer and read/save your data out there.

  2. put your Hard drive in a USB hard drive case, plug it into another computer and read/save from there.

  3 Alternatively, use Knoppix Live CD to recover data:

  http://www.Knopper.NET/Knoppix/index-en.html

  Download/save the file Knoppix Live CD ISO above.

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

  http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/isorecorder.htm

  Download the Vista software from the link above.

  After installing above ISO burning software, right click on the Knoppix ISO file > copy the Image to a CD.

  Knoppix is not installed on your PC; use only the resources of your PC, RAM, graphics etc.

  Change the boot order in YOUR computer/laptop to the CD/DVD Drive 1^st in the boot order.

  Plug a Flash Drive/Memory Stick, BOOT with the Live CD, and you should be able to read the hard drive.

  When the desktop loads, you will see at least two drive hard icons on the desktop (one for your hard drive) and one for the USB key.

  Click on the icons of hard drive to open and to understand which drive is which.

  Click the icon for the USB drive and click on "Actions > Change the read/write mode" so you can write to disk (it is read-only by default for security reasons).

  Now to find the files you want to back up, just drag and drop them on the USB. When you're done, shut down the system and remove the USB key.

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

  Vista recovery media obtain and/or use the Partition Recovery Vista on your computer to the factory settings .

  There is no Vista free download legal available.

  Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

  Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

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

  In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

  See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

  Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

  Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

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

  Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, Acer, recovery disk/s etc).
  A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
  The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

  There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

  If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

• Vista SP2 installation stops at step 3 65% (32-bit pre home.)

  I started this update last night, and it is still going on today and it's nearly 24 hours.
  The update just got in step 2 and has frozen 30%, you can tell he is frozen by the turning circle freezes something.
  Normally, the computer restarts but it is just frozen, so I turned it off for the night and the next day (today), I turn it on and now it freezes on 65% of step 3.
  There is no way to get out of this update or do a restore point, I don't think.
  I tried pressing F8 at startup and who does not. At the present time, the update stops of be up to 65% of step 3 and just it restarts auto.
  I waited patiently from 11:00 to 16:00 now.

  I also tried to reformat the computer trying to start up with the disc but it does not work and now whenever I turn it on, a black screen is just responsible.

  USB ethernet card. I can not open the installation on the sisk files to install properly.

  They cannot install as with other programs.  Go to the Device Manager by going to start / find and type Device Manager and enter and then double-click on the program icon that appears.  Check each device to a red x, yellow! or white?  These identify devices with problems probably (drivers, but also of conflict or something else).  Click on each for more details and troubleshooting tips.  If you need to get drivers (and you should do all you have time to do - they can help way beyond simply solve this problem), let the computer dealer or the manufacturer of the device (NOT of Microsoft Updates).  In fact, you must disable automatic updates in Windows Update driver as follows: http://www.addictivetips.com/windows-tips/how-to-disable-automatic-driver-installation-in-windows-vista/. Follow these steps to get the drivers: http://pcsupport.about.com/od/driverssupport/ht/driverdlmfgr.htm.  Once you have the drivers, you can install them via the Manager device as follows:http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/193584-device-manager-install-driver.html.

  If you can't find the drivers that will install, then you must contact the manufacturer's technical assistance service to explain the problem and get instructions on how to install the drivers they provide.  We cannot help you here because it is their product and their record and we know almost nothing about how their files are created or how they are intended to be installed (or if the device and drivers are compatible with your version of Vista).

  I hope this helps.
