Yes No. Sorry this didn't help. Thanks for your feedback. Do not have Vista installation CD as vendor did installation. Have tried all safe mode restarts without success. Display is still in the unending stage 3 of 3 loop.
I have left it running for 4 and a half hours with no change. I can not boot passed this "Configuring Updates" screen, I am really hoping there is something I can do with out having to reload Vista on the notebook as I'll have to re-install all the software I previously did.
And can I expect the same thing to happen even after I re-install Vista, so is it advisible to not allow for windows updates to avoid this problem??? Try to runs system restore, and it will resolved the issue about that configuring updates. Hope will work!! Click next on the language options i clicked "system recovery options" along the bottom. I have had the same problem for a month, after my VIsta had worked fine for a year.
Now I have another one: after the configure updating is down over 36 min, auto startup does not work. The startup repair kickes in and take a few min before the PC move to "window is loading file" before it return to normal. I have tried to restore the PC but the earliest restore point also includes the situation.
It has taken over 20 min and the "System restor" is still running. WHat should I do now beside waiting? After I restore the PC and disabled auto update, it start fine, but I cannot get on internet any more even the connect looks fine. A error" malfunction of Layered Service Provider" appears. Could someone advise me? Why not just install SP1? I have had no problems with the install.
My machine rebooted effortlessly, so thank you to all the contributors to this thread! This worked. I turned it off again and rebooted pressing F8 it may be differant for other brands until I got to the screen when you can choose to go into Safe Mode etc.
I chose "Last known configaration that worked" It booted into the normal screen and I then went to Windows Update and installed the files it was trying to install when I turned off. In this case it was Service Pack Don't try to rush it Do it before you go to bed and let it run overnight.
I have windows Vista Home Basic and have had the loop problem for 3 days. I found the answer to this problem on line today and am now responding to you from my notebook.
I have had faced this issue before. Then i have used System restore from Safe mode and it solved all the issues. This time, I have tried to install lots of importent fixes too. And after installation all the updates status were changed to Pending.
And I start getting the same issue This happend at the time of start and shutdown. After two days few of the pending updates were turned to installed. But still I have failed updates. As at the time of restore process it immediately starting shutdown.
So system restore is not working. I had the same problem. I read through most of this as well as other help sites tried everything and nothing worked. I was able to boot to "safe mode with command prompt" using the vista installation cd any vista installation cd My main boot drive happens to be x.
Installer Microsoft. One of them is probably the culprit but I have no idea which one Anyway, I was then able to boot normally.. Now what I cant figure out is how to do the updates without having it happen again..
Yesterday the same thing happened This is a total failure of Microsoft XP is the best in my opinion. Vista is a waste of money and potential crasher These dude who calls himself Microsoft Online Community Support is hopeless It seems he doesnt have a clue of what is happening Nwe, thank God I got the issue fixed as follows after googling Type ren pending. Now click on the File menu and then click Load Hive.
This should solve the problem Regards : Fahad. I'm confirming that following the steps below will resolve this issue. Insert your Vista install disc into your drive and boot from it. Select "Repair your Computer" from the list.
Select "Command Prompt" from the recovery choices. At the command prompt type C: 5. Type cd Windows 6. Type cd WinSxS 7. Type del pending.
Exit and reboot. I did it like 2 times it didnt work. So now i go in safe mode which i was able to go to successfully. Here is what I did. Held the power button until it restarted. Held F11 and got to the Restore System and followed the instructions. I then selected a previous date to restore to. It worked and I will never update again!! Office Office Exchange Server.

Then check whether you can log into the system. Tuesday, January 15, AM. Wednesday, January 9, PM. The only way to restart was by pulling out the plug. After restarting its come up with configuring updates again.
After around 10min I got to the user login screen. It appears this update is screwed. Anyone know how to fix this? If there is a microsoft article about this?
Here is how I got around it: Used the reset button to restart. Prompted me about not being shutdown properly. Hi danthrax, Did you try the solutions provided by DJ and Chunderlove? Friday, January 11, AM. My pc is doing the same, I never had such problems until Vista came out. This is getting very old. I shouldn't have to have a programming degree to use my pc. I hope they post a solution to this problem soon.
Luckily I dual boot since I have alot of problems gaming in Vista. I am about ready to unistall it and continue using XP Pro.
Friday, January 11, PM. I'm having this problem too. I have not tried these solutions yet, but I sure will when I run back to the computer in the other room. From the dates of these problems I have been having and other users. After Installing the updates my computer became stuck in a loop at Configuring updates. After enough force shutdowns I got the choice to boot into last known working config.
Now I'm back in Vista, now every 3 secs for every 5 secs, or something like that, everything pauses and speeds up. Mouse doesn't move then it does after the pause. Music does the same thing plays music, then pauses. Please I hope it was somewhat my fault. Instead of bad update which seems the most probable which users experiancing the same problems as me and occuring RIGHT around the same date. Problem solved. My solution was to unistall all the updates of which I installed Jan 10 Should be able unistall installed updates from Control Panel Classic View.
Programs and Features, and go to installed updates on the left hand on that window. Then, find the bad updates. Yeah, I tried their solutions, but to no avail I gave up waiting and formatted the drive the very day I got it! Do not turn off your computer.
