unable to boot even in safe mode.

With vista home basic keep getting the message "updates not configured correctly. Reverting changes. Do not turn off computer." I understand the cause of the problem but unable to get into the system to correct.

Hello!

What does it do when you boot?

Just goes to the same message. Can't get into to the operating system. I've tried removing the battery and turning off the power but still getting the same message. I'm now leaving it until morning to see if a prolonged non power situation helps. :sad:

By the way, my time zone is Ireland.

Does Safe Mode work?

Unable to get into safe mode. Get the same message before it launches.

We are going to be using a Windows Recovery Environment.

Thanks Hero but I decided to get rid of the Vista and do an upgrade to W7! I felt that Vista was not robust enough and as there was nothing on the system that I really wanted that would be the best course of action.
Again many thanks.
