Windows Vista Updated, Can't turn on Computer

I run Windows Vista Ultimate on my desktop Inspiron 530S, if this is helpful.

My computer rebooted this morning to install updates and turned on, but was
slow so i restarted. Later I turned it off and now when I turn it back on it
goes to Configuring Updates 3/3 0% even though it just updated....
after a few moments it will go to the shutting down screen, shut itself down
then turn itself back on and repeat the whole thing, configuring updates 3/3,
shutting down, etc etc etc.

Hello Annie,

Give this one a whirl:

Well dang! Maybe a little less perfect then thought. The solution should work
if I had a working disc drive to use the Vista media, but I don't. The other
solution is to use system restore for an earlier date and then reinstall the
update but the system restore says there is no backup to do so so I'm still
stuck. All I have is the command prompt to work with, really and haven't
found any solutions so far

Hi Annie,

Your most welcome. Glad to hear all is well now, and thanks for posting back.

That's always a nice gesture when we get back a post indicating if the
suggestions were helpful or not.
