I recenrly went to shut down my computer and did not realise it said
downloading updates 1/3 do not shut down...but i did not see and closed the
lid of my lap top. Now when i turn on my lap top, it loads up and says
downloading updates 3/3, shuts itself down and restarts...only to come up
with the same message downloading updates 3/3. I have removed the battery and
put it back in and it has come up resolve this problem, and it looked llike
it was trying but it came back to the downloading updates 3/3. does anyone
have any ideas how to get rid of this and get into the lap top??????

Thanks

Sam

Press F8 during the 'black screen right after the BIOS screen, during
startup. The Safe Mode menu will offer a "Last known good configuration"

"Last known good configuration" is only good if it's a driver problem.
Anything else I'm afraid won't help you in this case.

If what Mark suggest doesn't work then I'd try System Restore. Restore to a
point just prior to your download. Once things are up and running then retry
your updates.
