Girlfriend was futzing with Facebook and I thought she caught a virus. Not
one to take chances on an intenet only workstation I deleted the partition
and did the install. I can now get the updates after 2 cracks at the install
but its been "CONFIGURING UPDATES" for almost 2 hours now.

Have you taken care of everything on
http://www.microsoft.com/protect/com...nced/xppc.mspx other than
getting updates installed?

Assuming SP1 is not installed, briefly see...

The update is not installed successfully, you receive a message, and the
computer restarts when you try to install an update in Windows Vista:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/949358

Then skip to...

A software update is available for the Windows Vista installation software
feature:
