Vista for some reason keeps wanted me to shut it down to install updates. every time i go to shut it down it says install updates then shut down computer. but I've down this constantly for about 15 times for an hour and its still saying it. any ideas why this is happening?

Hey I have resolved this issue recently. Is your system giving you the configuring updates window and restarting the system and coming back to the same 'configuring updates' message and restarting ? I dont have a complete fix for it, but do have work around. Do a system restore by booting through the Windows Vista dvd. repair my system option and system restore. Let me know if teh issue is taken care of .....

i couldn't get the system restore to work. so i just decided to reformat to factory settings. It's not that big of a deal for me to do this because i've only had the computer for a few weeks so i didn't have much to back up before i did it. Thanks for the help though. I really appreciate it. Hopefully i want have this problem again.

Thanks again
John
