I have had a Toshiba Satellite laptop for 6 months and has always run great. I started it up today and it says Configuring updates Stage 3 0f 3 with 0 % complete. Do not turn computer off. During the shut down stage it will allow me to hit F2 and get into cmos update, which I have not done yet. It keeps going thru this cycle. I have Home basic Vista on a Toshiba 135. I could not find where anyone else has posted this, so I am hoping for an answer. I did not catch whether there was a stage 1 or 2 to the configuring. I hope someone has some ideas. Thanks a bunch.

Have you tried booting into Safe Mode (pressing F8 at the time when the system finishes posting)?

Once in, I'd suggest uninstalling the updates that were most recent.

Did you add the 2 prerequisite updates on patch Tuesday? If so, was this when your problems started?
