Now we know you're running Vista: Has Vista SP1 been installed yet?  (Just a
question, NOT a suggestion or recommendation!)

...I tried
downloading and installing it manually from outside of Windows Update,
but that yields the same problem.

Any error messages?

So, I spent about 2 hours installing my updates one by one from
Windows Update to isolate the one(s) that are causing this problem.  I
found that the update that creates it is KB938371.  I tried
downloading and installing it manually from outside of Windows Update,
but that yields the same problem.

I'm stuck.  I've searched around the web and can't find any further
suggestions.  Any advice?

I just went through the process of installing 11 windows updates,
which were downloaded automatically and installed upon shut down.
After quite some time installing, upon restart, the updates were being
configured.  After about 5 minutes, I got the following error message:

"Some changes cannot be completed.  Reverting changes.  Will retry on
startup.  Do not turn off your computer."

I have gone through this process three times now and it results in
exactly the same problem.  Can anybody help?- Hide quoted text -

I do not believe that SP1 has been installed yet. I looked at the
list of installed updates and I see nothing that references SP1. I
believe that the knowledge base article for SP1 is KB936330. This has
definitely NOT been installed.

Also, no error messages that I can see.
