Problems with Microsoft Update and Vista
We’re aware of a number of people who have been experiencing problems with downloading and installing updates from the Microsoft Update site. Microsoft Vista, as users will know, often has two phases to installing updates – the first happens after the download, the second phase happens when you subsequently reboot the machine.
We’re aware of a number of users for whom the second phase does not execute correctly. During the boot up sequence, the computer displays the message “Configuring Updates. Stage 3 of 3. 0% Complete” and at that point, the machine shuts down.
This is due to an issue with Windows Vista Service Pack 1 and a required update which was released around April 2008, but which was never flagged as being essential. As a result, your machine may not have downloaded it, depending upon your individual settings.
