Hello,
I have a dell inspiron laptop.
When it its turned on it showconfigurating update 3/3 0% completed"
It then periodically goes blank only for the same screen to reappear.
there is no reaction to any single or multiple key presses.
I eventually pulled the plug on it but when reconnected the same screen comes up.
Any ideas?

I suggest you try the following:

With tech support, the following resolved the issue: I suspect the same general steps would resolve any update issue.



1. Boot from Vista DVD (e.g. ensure BIOS is set to boot from CD/DVD). Note: before the reboot from DVD, they requested that I disconnect attached peripherals: the printer and the wireless kb/mouse. Plugged in wired kb/mouse.



2. Select Repair link from the main menu



3. Select to restore to a previous time



4. Restore to a point prior to the offending update



5. Restart normally



6. Launch windows update in vista. Check for updates.

Good Luck
