Windows Vista - configuration of the firewall

• 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)?

• Try changing the settings of Vista firewall, but the configuration of the firewall Panel does not respond.

  I'm trying to access the port through the Windows Vista firewall.  When I open the firewall Panel and try to change the settings. The hourglass disappears and will not show the screen for changes.  So you can not close the firewall Panel.  Only way to get rid of it is to use the Task Manager and end task.  Any ideas?

  Hi wolfpackertom,

  Present on the computer some third party software may hinder the process.

  I suggest you try the following steps:

  The computer in the boot and a test

  Hi emiquestion:

  Long 'check for updates...' crashes and slow window updates are a currently a problem common to many users of Vista SP2 - please see the workaround suggested, I posted yesterday over BluesBlaster WINDOWS VISTA 32-BIT updates.

• Remove the Windows Vista so that the upgrade can continue. He says that I can not upgrade both on the drive.

  I had to have my hard drive replaced and the company that made him put two versions of 32-bit and 64-bit Vista Home Premium on it.  Soon, I discovered that I was getting conflict on my computer and he discovered that the two were on the hard drive.  I'm trying to upgrade to Windows 7, but I'm at the stage where it tells me to seek answers on the removal of Windows Vista so that the upgrade can continue.  He says that I can not upgrade both on the drive.  I know the other option is to do a clean business, but I would avoid this possibility if possible.

  need an answer as soon as possible... Thank you

  Hello

  The best way is to clean install and start over.

  In addition, it is not legal to have both installed version that the license is for a single installation.

  If it is a dual boot with 32 bit and 64 bit installed on different partitions, there would not have been the conflicts you would have never started in one or the other.

  See you soon.

  How to uninstall windows vista or reformat the c drive?

  Hello

  You do not uninstall Vista as such.

  Vista cannot uninstall itself by Vista, formatting the drive that is installed on. In other words it cannot remove itself.

  You install another operating system, removal of Vista during the installation process of the other operating system...

  You don't say exactly what you are trying to do.

  You can format a disk if it a second drive with the Dual Boot operating systems and leaves without data or the operating system on it at all.

  Hello

  A manufacturer of recovery disc is designed for a particular brand and computer model; they are not interchangeable.

  Here is the link to order the Acer recovery disks:

  http://us-store.Acer.com/RCD/

  And if the Acer never included a drive to purchase, you should have a recovery Partition on your hard disk to reinstall Vista to how it was when new.

  With an Acer, you press Alt + F10 at startup to start the process of recovery back to new condition.

  See you soon.
