  You can change the AU for the "updates but let me choose whether to download and install them" setting. Once you have done this, you will need to approve the updates are downloaded, the updates are installed and where they are installed.

  Is it possible from a different drive to boot and then by applying some changes that would stop it. At the time when the computer is unusable, it just starts to "configuration updated 3/3" then restarts.

  Hello

  Try these methods.

  Method 1:

  You have to do a cold start, press and hold power for a few seconds (10).

  Wait a minute or two and turn it back on.

  Make sure that "all the" non-essential devices are disconnected. (USB keys (for example, flash drives) or any other external media like this takes place.).

  If you can, start safe mode.

  Start your computer in safe mode with network.

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/start-your-computer-in-safe-mode

  NOTE: see 3 from the link above, Advanced options boot (including safe mode).

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/advanced-startup-options-including-safe-mode

  Select Mode safe mode with networking.

  Method 2:

  Use the system restore feature:

  (a) click Start, type system restore in the Search box or search programs and filesand then click on the system restore under the programs section.

  (b) on the System Restore page, click Next.

  (c) select a restore point during which you know the operating system works, and then click Next.

  The restore point should be a date that precedes the first time you encountered the problem.

  NOTE: If you use system restore when the computer is in safe mode, you can't undo the restore operation.

  Data loss caveat:

  Be sure to back up data that you want to keep before you begin. This is to ensure that there is no loss of data.

  Method 3:

  Step 1:

  To avoid this problem on Windows Vista, obtain and install update 937287 from the Microsoft Download Center separately from all other updates on Windows Update site. Install the update that applies to your version of Windows Vista so that you are able to install future updates.

  A software update is available for the Windows Vista installation software feature

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/937287/en-us

  The following files are available for download from the Microsoft Download Center:

  Windows Vista x 86 systems

  http://www.Microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?amp;displaylang=en&ID=15287

  Windows Vista x 64 systems

  http://www.Microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?amp;displaylang=en&ID=23732

  Step 2:

  Save the update to a location on your hard drive, you can find and then install the update from there.

  Download, *Save* and install the update with no security (antivirus/security suite) software installed, disconnect from the Internet, disable the firewall & close all non-essential processes in the Task Manager.

  Disable antivirus programs and firewalls.

  Disable the anti-virus software

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/disable-antivirus-software

  Windows Firewall

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/firewall-frequently-asked-questions

  Note: Make sure that you enable the antivirus software, other security and firewall after the test programs.

  Caution:
  Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

  I also recommend taking off of USB keys (for example, flash drives) or any other external media, as this takes place.

  When the file is downloaded, see these steps.

  (a) right -click on the file and

  (b) select run as administrator from the menu.

• Differences between "View Update History" and "installed updates".

  I have discrepancies between "view update history" and "installed updates".  Updates do not match and there are a lot of differences.  I'll try and link to an extracted image so you can see the differences.
  I have a Gateway GM4574 with an AMD Live 64-bit processor, but am running Windows Vista Home Premium (32-bit) SP2,
  I found this problem when certain Office updates (KB2760411, KB2760583, & KB2760588) kept wanting to be installed over and over.  This problem is now resolved.
  Here's the problem I'm having now...

  When I compare what follows, I come with a LOT of contradictions:

  (a) Control Panel, system and Maintenance, update Windows, view update history

  (b) Control Panel, programs and features, installed updates

  
  

  Please see if your system has the same problem.  I don't know if it will work, but I'll try and link a picture of the views of two control panel so you can see the differences.  Just look at the dates of arrival and you will immediately see there are problems.

  
  

  Here is the link to an image I've snipped: https://skydrive.live.com/redir?resid=95DC3CEDE6DDD9BD! 814 & authkey =! AEwfCYrNsbmnUk0 & v = 3 +

  When you click on the link and the page opens, look down the page and you'll see a thumbnail of the image.  Right-click on it and click View Original.  It looks better this way.  It is easier to read.

  Again, I didn't know you can see updates two of 2 different ways, but there are a lot of updates do not appear on the installed updates that appear on view update history.

  I'm worried about this because I don't know whether or not updates are really installed.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  
  Sincerely,

  Dennis

  History is not important, it's the installed updates that are important.

  At a certain stage, you can reset Windows Update, thus losing your history, or may have installed updates manually.

  Don't worry about this. As long as the computer is updated and the updates are listed under "installed updates", it is essentially.

• Shut down and install updates

  I am running Vista 64 bit.

  I got a ToolTip hovering over my close icon that said Shut Down and install updates.  So I clicked it, noticed there are several updates to install and walked off to go do something else while it has been updated.  After it updated, it will turn off.  Now when I hit the power button to turn the PC on his saying to check my boot device or change my startup location and press a key to continue.  I tried to use my vista cd to retrieve and repair the safe mode, but it does not find my hard drive!

  I guess what I need to know is, in fact the process of update killed my hard drive?  I can get it back without cracking open the case and replace my hard drive?  And if I need to replace my HARD drive how can I recover my data?

  Hello

  1 did you receive an error message?

  2 are you able to start your computer in normal mode?

  3. are you able to boot in safe mode?

  4. the repairs were finished with success?

• Impossible to disable firewall NIS2010 so I can download and install updates

  Microsoft told me that I should disable my Norton firewall and antivirus while downloading and installing updates to avoid problems (I have dial-up access)

  In msconfig when I remove the chech in the box for this program and click 'apply' the audit took place in the area and it does not turn off. If I then click on "OK" and restart it won't always turn off. I unchecked other programs and click on 'apply' and it worked.

  I tried reinstalling and it still does not work. In addition, I can't change how it starts in services.msc

  I'm waiting until it is resolved to do my updates. Help, please.
