Vista: Configuration update

• OS Vista - configuring updates: stage 3 of 3-0% complete. Do not turn off your computer.

  My laptop ACER Aspire 5610 in a loop of update configuration for three days now.  Don't have a Vista installation CD as provider did the installation.  Have tried all the safe mode restarts without success.  The display is still in phase 3 of 3 endless loop.  Ideas to fix/repair or recover data from disk hard 160 GB I need to keep?

  I want to thank everyone for friendly advice and assistance information.  After a few days (of frustration for me) and your continuous encouragement, I have finally overcome this "infinite loop".

  What worked for me was downloading neosmart.net for work properly CD/DVD burner.  I tried initially using my office old CD drive, but I forgot that it was a device to read-only and wouldn't be able to burn a copy of the restore CD.  I found a DVD burner work to correctly copy download neosmart.net.

  It took several boots cold on the laptop with the recovery CD as well as access 'shift F6', then quickly by "any key" for the necessary recovery menu.

  On Google, I noticed that this "configuration updates: stage 3 of 3-0% complete." has been on Vista for 2008.  It is almost of 2012 and it always creates problems?

  America happy Thanksgiving!

• Windows Vista - configuration of the updates/restart loop

  Hello
  I have a Satellite L300D (model number PLSC0E), which I believe is running on Windows Vista Home Premium SP1, which is stuck in a recurring loop I'm not on. Once the computer is turned on, it proceeds to the point where it would normally provide the user to type their password, but instead displays the following message:

  * Configuring updates: stage 3 of 3-0% complete *.
  * Do not turn off your computer *.

  and after a few seconds, stops, only to repeat the process.

  Occasionally, he offers the following options after that initial start-up of Toshiba screen appeared:

  Launch Startup Repair (recommended) *.
  * Start Windows normally *.

  Results "Start Windows normally" in the same message - I also tried all the options available when you press F8 to initial start-up screen (for example "Safe Mode"), and that did not help either and simply translates the laptop closed.

  When 'Launch Startup Repair' is selected, it loads the utility successfully, but is unable to find errors and is unable to perform a "System Restore" to any date.

  I also tried to use "System Restore" using a "Vista system restore" disk, but this also translates into a failure to the "System Restore" caused by a "catastrophic failure".

  I know it's a pretty common problem which is supposed to be caused by a corruption by a Windows Update, but most solutions simply say to try 'System restore', which is not really useful if it doesn't work - I don't want to really try to back up data by using the command prompt, but I will not lose the data either , so reinstalling Windows is not really an option.

  Any suggestions?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  It is understandable that new operating system installation is not an option for you, but what other chance you have at the moment?
  In my opinion, your priority should be access to your backed-up data and how to save them.
  You can somehow enter SafeMode (F8 at startup)?

• Strange problem with Vista Home premium configuration update

  Just bought a Toshiba Satellite Pro L300-1AI which was preloaded with Vista Home Premium.

  Clicked on configure updates on the front screen and he entered a loop that says: Configuring updates: stage 3 of 3-0% complete. Do not turn off your computer.

  Every 5 minutes or so then stops and restarts with the same message. I left on for 8 hours, so can not believe he needs for this long. Just tried to set off, but when you restart it defaults as shown above.

  Please advise... even if you can get me right back to the normal screen before

  Hello

  Try please start your computer in safe mode and restore your operating system to an earlier time (before the update). Maybe this will help.

  In the future be careful with updates. I recommend you to disable the automatic update. Just check the list with updated supply and install important and recommended only. Disable all optional updates. You don't need them.

  Laptop from my dad recently started showing "configuration updates 3/3" followed back changes not configured message.

I checked the history of update and the first failure is KB2296011 which shows the error code 800F0816.  Currently, I have his laptop but cannot access the internet because it does not connect to the internet via my network (do not have the knowledge necessary for to be difficulty)

  Can someone help me solve this recurring problem. If necessary I will be able to access the internet on the laptop question but would like to know a solution offline if possibel. I don't want to pay Microsoft Help for the answer. I'm not very literate pc so a simple solution would be better.

  Visit the Microsoft Solution Center and antivirus security for resources and tools to keep your PC safe and healthy. If you have problems with the installation of the update itself, visit the Microsoft Update Support for resources and tools to keep your PC updated with the latest updates.

  800F0816 - express package has not been completely downloaded. The status of the operation was recorded while the package is downloaded. An express package is a package that you are installing by using Windows Update. With these packages, only the files needed for that specific computer are downloaded and installed (unlike when all is downloaded to a computer).

  For a 'solution offline' you can try to manually download each update to the computer you are currently using and then transfer to the portable touched with a USB key.
  Then see if they install correctly. Given that we do not know all the edits concerned... open Windows Update in Control Panel, and then click View update history link to see updates try to install.

• Windows Vista crashes when configuring updates

  I am currently using a Toshiba Satellite a305-s6916 with Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit. I had some problems with the computer so I decided to reinstall my OS and have a fresh start. I made the discs by the creator of recovery on the computer disk.

  I reinstalled my OS, got all my files and programs on the computer, then started updates. When I installed Windows Vista Service Pack 2, my computer rebooted, went to the "Configuring updates 2/3 0% ' screen and stayed there." The circle of "loading" froze, I let it sit for an hour and finally started strong. He went to the same screen and froze, I rebooted it in safe mode, it starts normall (not in safe mode), and then asked me to do more updates. I let it reboot and he did the same thing, I rebooted again and he went to the same page with horizontal lines on the screen. I picked up in safe mode, it went through updates and seemed fine. I was using the computer and about 30 minutes later, he froze and made the lines again.

  I decided to reinstall the OS again in case I did something wrong or had a virus transferred in my files. I did reinstall fees disks on my computer of friends (same model bought the same day). This time, I didn't install programs or documents with the exception of my antivirus (eset). I immediately started this updates a little at a time. In a first time no problem, but he did 72 updates automatically, it froze on a similar screen, I rebooted and it worked fine (successful installation). I then continued to make updates. I got an error 80070570 for some and it is resolved by following the steps listed on http://social.technet.microsoft.com/forums/en-us/itprovistasp/thread/829de30b-0634-4186-9172-90cd5776b48c forum. (I have listed these steps below as well) I did not receive any other errors failed after that. When I did the update to IE 8 that it froze again, I rebooted and it has started well. I did several facilities and had problems with one more (I forgot to save that one).

  I went until I didn't have Windows Vist SP2 on the list to download. I left this download and restart it, it froze again on 2 of 3 0% screen configuration updates, I restarted, same thing, then restarted in safe mode. He started up very well.

  Although it seems to work once I started strong each time, I know I shouldn't have these freezing problems.

  Any help is appreciated.

• 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

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