Hello,
My nephew is having problems with his Fijitsu Siemens lap top. When you press the on button a message comes up with start normally - etc. We choose the start normally option but then the screen goes to "configuring updates: stage 3 of 3 - 0% complete. Do not turn off your computer" It hangs there for ages, nothing happens and the "0% complete" dosent change either. He is runing windows vista. Can anyone help please? Would be really greatful. Thanks.

all of the files will be lost all the programs have to be install again
OK. Will probably have to do that then as the lap top is no good at the moment. Really appreciate the help.
