    Vista Updates

    Hi,

    a laptop keeps restarting after installing updates.

    it says Configuring updates, gets to 100% then restarts.

    Can anyone help with this?

    Cheers,

    Safe mode and check event logs? Boot from a PE environment disc to do the same (is that even possible?)

    Try safe mode and system restore, if you cant even get into safe mode do the following

    Just boot from your windows vista disk

    Click repair my computer

    And use system restore
