I have a computer which is running windows Vista, however it has developed a problem then when it tries to install an update, it keeps installing to 92% then shutting down, this happens over and over and over again, unfortunatly I have no idea which update it is or anything else, does anyone have any ideas how I can get past this problem, also, there is no previous configs on the system to allow me to 'back-date' the system either.
 
Do this allow up 30 minutes but you will see it working!

D/L and install Windows Resource Kit
Listed as 2003 but works in Vista, XP and 2K
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...69-57FF-4AE7-96EE-B18C4790CFFD&displaylang=en

The install must be to the default location do not change

Then do the below

Left Drag mouse and Copy for Pasting all text in the box below.
Make sure the slider bar goes to bottom from the @ to the end of the second exit.
Then paste to the black screen of an open command prompt.
Code:
@echo off
:: Fix Access denied
cd /d "%ProgramFiles%\Windows Resource Kits\Tools"

subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE /grant=administrators=f /grant=system=f
subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CURRENT_USER /grant=administrators=f /grant=system=f
subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT /grant=administrators=f /grant=system=f
subinacl /subdirectories %SystemDrive% /grant=administrators=f /grant=system=f
subinacl /subdirectories %windir%\*.* /grant=administrators=f /grant=system=f

secedit /configure /cfg %windir%\repair\secsetup.inf /db secsetup.sdb /verbose
exit
exit

When complete reboot and try WinUpdate!

Can this be done although I can't actually get into windows at all?

ie. can I D/L this from my computer onto the other HDD?
 
Well nothing was said about not being able to get into Windows! Just that you had an update that would not install!

Tap the F8 key while on the black screen before windows boots. Choose Safe Mode with Networking.

That should stop the install of the update and allow you to do the post.

Sorry, that was my bad, it was late at night for me :(

Thankyou for you're help tho, I will give that a go when I come in from work later on tonight
