Vista SP1 prerequis3te 3 endless boot loop

MSFT visted upon my Vista Business machine today and automatic update which
included prerequisite 3 of 3 which has left my computer in an endless boot -
configure loop.

Anyone else having that problem?

Windows Update Support (it's free):
http://support.microsoft.com/gp/wupd

Have you tried hitting F8 at boot and loading either Safe mode or the last
known good configuration?

RE: Vista SP1 prerequis3te 3 endless boot loop

Hello,
Can you send me some of the log files from the system?
%windir%\logs\cbs\*.*
%windir%\WindowsUpdate*.log
%windir%\inf\setupapi.dev.log
%windir%\winsxs\poqexec.log (if exists)
%windir%\winsxs\pending.* (if exists)
%windir%\Performance\WinSAT\Datastore\*.*
%windir%\System32\winevt\Logs\application.evtx
Try booting to the Windows Vista DVD, choose the repair option in the lower
left-hand corner.
Choose to boot to a CMD prompt, copy the log files to a temp folder (or
onto removable media if available)

while in the repair more after copying the files to a temp location, you
should be able to choose the system restore option.
This should get you back operational.
Then send me the log file.
Remove the online the email darrellg@xxxxxx.


Thanks,
Darrell Gorter[MSFT]
