I was having a power connector problem on my Dell laptop, and I shut
it down. However, instead of shutting down, it started installing
the latest updates. The battery died before finishing.
The laptop has been repaired, but now when I try to do updates, it
gets hung up on the "first" one. It says that "upgrades are being
installed" and "do not turn off or unplug your computer, it will
turn off automatically." I have let it run for over 24 hours, and
it hasn't turned off yet.
Obviously, "something" is jammed in the queue. Can anyone suggest
any next step(s).
Try this:
Get Dial-a-Fix:
http://wiki.djlizard.net/Dial-a-fix
Use its options to fix:
- Windows Installer
- Windows Update
- All the Registration Center options.
Turn off the "Empty System32\Catroot 2"
Do NOT do "Flush SoftwareDistribution".
Then click "GO" and wait until it is done... Reboot may be needed.
- Download/Install Windows Update v3.
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=91237
(You may need to install it using the command line switch "/wuforce" right
after an additional reboot - immediately after logging in.)
- Download/Install the 927891 patch.
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=7A81B0CD-A0B9-497E-8A89-404327772E5A
- Reboot.
- Come back and let us know how things went!
