Eternal splash screen!!!

Regarding Vista Ultimate

I have my Vista set on automatic update.

Two days ago it updated and asked me to reboot.
After the reboot it never started up again!!!
It only went as far as to the splash screen - and there it stayed for 12
hours...
Nothing happened.

PLEASE PLEASE!!! Someone help me!

See if the problem is related in some way to this - The update is not installed
successfully, you receive a message, and the computer restarts when you try to install an
update in Windows Vista
