Windows XP SP3 taking hours to install update 1 of 2...
I have Windows XP on Parallels 5.0. My update asked me to do an update and after waiting all night, yet did not. He said not to turn off computer etc as it will do it automatically. Finally I gave up and turned off the computer. The next time I turned on, it automatically starts with the same blue screen of Windows XP, saying that this is "Installing update 1 of 2..." once again. I can't yet use Windows around it. How do I give this up?

Update for Windows Vista Edition family may 12 Premium taking hours to install
Hello
I use Windows Vista Home Premium on a Sony VAIO VGN - SR 190. When I went to shut down my computer today (13 May 2009), I clicked on the icon that said he was going to install updates and then turn off the computer. I did this several times in the past without problem. Now the computer screen showed 'Installing Update 1 of 5...' for the last 3 hours. This set of updates does take really too long? Is there's something screwed up with my computer and I turn it off manually, how that will affect the update? Will my jet computer when I turn it back on? Thanks for any help on this!
-Steve MHi Chris,
Thanks a lot for all of your helpful information. I finally just manually turned off the computer, restarted, then clicked on the icon that says this install updates and then turn off the computer, and this time it worked fine. It is not uncommon for my computer display the 'Shutting Down' and never stop (in this case), so it was probably the same is going on here except that Vista tried to install updates. Thanks again for your help.

Usually, I found that this happens when installing .NET updates - if you give the machine 20 or so minutes to regroup and then restart, the problem disappears usually.
