    Hi,

    I'm having trouble installing updates. Whenever I do, I get prompted to restart the computer which I do. Then the computer restarts, but vista doesn't load. When I push the restart button, the message I get says Windows didn't start. I have to repair the computer with the Vista disc, and then i get prompted to install the updates again, as the disc makes the computer do a system restore.

    Please help,

    Thanks,bmfenner

    Then the computer restarts, but vista doesn't load -> Have you let it sit for ten minutes or more to see if it eventually boots up?

    Yeah, not every time, but previously I've left it for 15 minutes. I'll try installing them again in a bit, and leave the computer for at least 20 minutes to give it a chance, then post back here!

    Thanks!

    Well, it's taken half an hour, but yeah, it's rebooted and seems to be ok!

    Thanks for your help!

    Not sure why it took so long....But a story with a happy ending is a good story.
