I'm using Windows Vista Home Premium.

After updating my windows on 11th March 2008, my computer keeps
automatically shut down by itself each time I tried to log in to windows.
Before it shuts down, I saw this message on my screen:

"Configuring updates: stage 3 of 3. - 0% completed
Do not turn of your computer."

After a few minutes, my computer will automatically shuts down,
and it continuously do the same thing over and over again.
The updates are not completed and will always shows "0% completed".
Please help me!! Need Help here!!

Hi,

Have you tried hitting F8 at boot to access the boot menu and:

a) Logging into Safe mode?

b) Using the last known good configuration?

c) Using the non-gui mode and running system restore?

See if the Methods listed here are of any use:

The update is not installed successfully, you receive a message, and the
computer restarts when you try to install an update in Windows Vista

Tried which? All of them? The SR in non-gui mode should get you backed out
regardless of anything else.

Hi,

Alright when I tried to install IE8 this morning, it wouldn'
successfully install, so it had to shut down and restart. However, wha
you described happened to me exactly. I called up Dell and here is th
information that I got from them:

Insert your OS re installation CD
Shut down computer
Restart
When you see the manufacturer's logo press F8 multiple times
Then there's an option like boot from USB or CD (highlight and pres
enter)
Give it a second
DON"T REINSTALL WINDOWS ---There will be a repair option in the lowe
left hand corner. Click on that
This will give you the option to use system restore. Restore a saf
point you know will work (usually a day or two).
After it has completed. Restart.
Everything is back to normal again
