I searched around but couldn't see any posts about this...

Basically, after I install windows updates and now after I tried to install SP1 RC1, I get stuck in a "Configuring updates" loop.

I think SP1 contains all previous updates, so I don't care about the seperate windows updates right now. When I installed SP1 everything went fine, then the computer rebooted and arrived at the logon page with a "Configuring updates" message. There it was stuck until it rebooted itself and started again.

I stuck the disk in and repair didn't work so I had to do a system restore which did fix the problem, any ideas whats causing this?


Many Thanks,

Many Thanks,

I hope you find a solution to the boot loop. I tried three times to download MS new updates, but my computer went into the loop every time after rebooting. I emailed tech support at Dell; the tech advised me against downloading any more updates. Sorta reminds me of the old doctor / patient joke: *Doc, it hurts when I do this,* *Well, stop doing that!*

Thanks for the link Jacee but it doesn't look like that forum gives out any actual answers, just a place for microsoft to group everyone together :P
