Hello there,
I am a new Vista Home Premium 32bit user.
I just bought my new PC yesterday, it is an INTEL QUAD CORE, with 4 Gb RAM and it came with Vista pre installed..
I also installed PANDA Global security 2009, original of course.
So the problem is this: Each time I shut down the computer, it installs downloaded updates for Vista, the first time was ok , but the second time it said it was installing 34 updates, so when it reaches ..34 of 34, it just stays there, does not shut down, and when I hit the reset button, it boots normally but when I try to shut down again, it says: istalling 34 of 34 and stays like that again....:confused:

Please help me, and forgive my English!!!
Thanks in advance for any help!

hey George,

when I first got my updates through I had 24 to install and I had to leave my laptop running though the night before it shut down on its own. How long have you let it run in that process??

When you say it doesn't shut down, is it sitting at the 'shutting down' screen with a lot of HD activity?

When installing a lot of updates in one go, like jeddess said, you need to leave it on as it can take quite a bit of time to install.

Try disabling the automatic updates to see if that gets you out of the loop.

(Control Panel>Windows update>change settings>Never check for updates)

If that stops the loop, try downloading the updates manually (check for updates) and only select a couple at a time.

I left it running for about 40 minutes... you think I should give it more time?

Will try that first and if it doesn't work, I'll try disabling the automatic updates.

Thank you both!

If there is no HD activity for a while (give it an hour at least) then it may be hanging.

And yes, you should definitely install SP1 :)
