My PC is not booting and it repeatedly restarts after this message 'Configuring Updates Stage 3 of 3 0% complete Do not turn off Computer'. I have tried every available option in boot menu, like starting in safe mode, in recovery mode and so on, but it didn't helped. I even tried to boot it with my Vista DVD, it shows setup option but it only asks for reinstallation of Vista OS. What I need is to booting my PC to desktop wherein I can uninstall the update which is giving me the problem and not to format my OS. I had this problem earlier and I had to format my C drive and reinstall Vista, but now I don't want this to happen again. I have SP2 installed in my PC. I have attached some of the messages that i got. Pl. help

Probably your Vista DVD don't have "repair Computer" option.It is possible -follow to below MS article how to have access to WinRE in this case:You cannot start Windows Recovery Environment after you start a computer by using the installation DVD that has been provided by the computer manufacturer

Thanks guys..got my problem solved...I downloaded vista recovery 64 bit image file from the net and wrote it to CD and voila! got it to run on recovery mode and restored it to back date..everything's perfect now...no need to format it!..thx again
