| 827874 | 2009-11-07 02:37:00 | Hi, I just bought a new computer today; Windows 7 Home Premium 4GB RAM 500GB HDD 1GB Graphics Intel Core 2 Duo CPU and I am someone who likes to update, so as soon as I finish the setup I go to windows update and there are 9 critical and 2 optional, mainly security, so I download and install these updates, and a restart is required. So I restart and all it is doing and has been for the past hour, sitting there saying that it is configuring and not to turn it off. I turned it off a while ago and restarted in safe mode but that hasn't changed anything. Is there anything I can do to make it even log in? Help needed urgently. Thanks. |

| 827875 | 2009-11-07 02:38:00 | restore it back to before they downloaded and then do them on at a time possibly | gary67 (56) | ||
| 827876 | 2009-11-07 02:41:00 | It logged in in safe mode finally, but is it safe to restart again because I want it to run properly. | Craig Mellor (13762) | ||
| 827877 | 2009-11-07 02:45:00 | I wouldnt turn it off. You've probably stuffed something up if it cant get into windows at all | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 827878 | 2009-11-07 02:46:00 | Agree with Gary's approach. Whenever there are multiple updates, I tend to try to run them one or two at a time. Even run a System Restore between each if I have the time. | Scouse (83) | ||
| 827879 | 2009-11-07 02:49:00 | Is there anything I can do? I don't have a Windows 7 Disc or anything to reinstall? | Craig Mellor (13762) | ||
| 827880 | 2009-11-07 02:52:00 | If its got a restore partition press whatever key to restore it. Next time, dont turn it off when it tells you not to turn it off. Then once its back to normal burn the ISO's if there's a program on it (and if there's ISO on the recovery partition). And if you brought it (if its got anything with symantec / nortons on it, uninstall it, before you update it) | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 827881 | 2009-11-07 02:55:00 | Where would this 'restore partition' be located. | Craig Mellor (13762) | ||
| 827882 | 2009-11-07 02:56:00 | I think I might just wait a hour or so because its come up saying 'Preparing to configure Windows. Do not turn off your computer. Thanks. |

| 827883 | 2009-11-07 02:56:00 | If its got one, it'll tell you to press a function key when you reboot. (on the post screen somewhere). To restore the system. But this will wipe everything. So, whatever you've installed, you'll have to reinstall. | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
