Issue:
After installing updates from Windows Update, you may get into a Reboot
loop where you machines gets to “configuring updates 3 of 3. 0% complete”
then reboots. The machine then continues to reboot.
Solution:
1a. Boot to the Windows DVD and choose the repair option in the lower left
hand corner, choose System Restore, and select a Restore Point predating
the attempted installation of the updates.
1b. If you don't have the DVD and the Vista came preinstalled on the
machine, boot to the Safe Mode options using F8 during startup (tutorial:
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial61.html#vista).
Once in Safe Mode, invoke System Restore as follows:
Start | Run | (type in) rstrui.exe | [OK]
Select an available Restore Point predating the attempted installation of
the updates.
Recommendation:
To avoid running into the same problem again, install the following update
separately and ASAP:
