2 Udates Windows won't start

I went to shut down my computer this morning because it said it had two
updates to install. Now it fails to start. I have chosen every option from
safe mode, to regular, nothing is working. HELP!
anyway to get to a C prompt or anything? I'll just go back to XP

because I downloaded Vista with digital locker I do not have Vista on any CD

Same story here. I returned to a previous restore point using the
Installation CD, but the computer becomes unworkable every time the
auto-update runs. It would be easy to remedy if I know which update was
causing the crash. I would simply disable it, but other than spending the day
running one update at a time and then rebooting until the crash occurs, I
don't know what else to do. This sucks, M$.

Is PowerPoint viewer 2003 (KB949041) among the updates? It hasn't caused my
computer to crash, but I can't get it to install no matter what I try.

> i am actually getting the same update problem with KB949041.....doing my head in something fierce, and everything i try (and have tried and searched and blah blah blah, yada yada yada) will not fix it. no crashing as of yet, but i go back to my problems with vista (based on microsoft ME, can't throw [insert own expletive here] into a compost, and expect roses....if ya get my meaning). cannot wait until a new OS is out (MICROSOFT!! READ THIS PART!! BASE IT OFF OF WINDOWS 98 SE AGAIN, SO CAN BE STABLE LIKE XP WAS), so can get rid of vista at this point. ok, rant is done, but any help would be greatly appreciative, as any pc problems i have to fix, and the pc not workin right is causing undue stress on me, as 2 college students now live at my residence.
