MS about it The update is not installed successfully, you receive a message, and the computer restarts when you try to install an update in Windows Vista and Windows 7

instead Vista DVD you can use special recovery disk Create a Recovery Disc

Your minimal detail at System Specs is not helping to determine the source of your problem, which is evident given the content of previous posts ie. Internet Protected Mode Off, etc.

What Security and Protection Software are you running, and have you conducted any Anti-Virus and Malware scans.

How long does your Update sit at 'Configuring 3 of 3 - 0%' for, before you decide to 'hard-close'?

Depending on how many updates are being installed, it's not uncommon for it take several minutes. If the Hard Drive light is active during that 0%, it's doing something.

Agree Mate with the second, but I was waiting to see what the comeback would be, to determine if 'patience' was part of the problem......never mind. Though I'd still like to see where the 'difficulties' lie. My thinking is sitting at the PC

So I guess that it really isn't running? Don't you think that rather odd?

Given all the instability that you are experiencing with your system, I would strongly suggest that you download some free and reputable tools, to sweep your system. For example, these for starters;

Malicious Software Removal Tool

http://www.superantispyware.com

Malwarebytes.org

Some answers [called feedback], to other questions in previous threads, would help. In addition,

is your Windows Defender on, off or disabled?

Is your version of Vista Home Premium, SP1 or SP2?

.....and a completed User CP 'My System Specs', will save a lot of mucking about.

It may help you understand things just a little better, if you take just a bit of time to do some useful reading. Here's a good place to start; Microsoft Malware Protection Center

Uninstall this soft.Not obligatory it's going on infection.It could be any issue with hdd or just any antivirus error.Diagnose your hdd on bootup Check Disk - chkdsk
Neverless later you can diagnose on viruses presence as well -I suggest use LiveCD with antivir

i.e FREE Dr.Web LiveCD To Scan and Remove Virus Without Starting Windows » Raymond.CC Blog

Kaspersky Offers FREE Rescue Disk To Clean Virus Without Booting in Windows » Raymond.CC Blog
