Best of Luck and you may want to back up your data before handing it to IT...

Hi all, and once again, thanks for all the help.

So, this morning I booted the system and immediately got a message reading" configuring updates, do not shut off your computer. I tried getting a screen shot but to not avail. The screen goes to blue then this message pops up reading: Configuring update 1 - Do not shut off your computer. After a few minutes, the message changes to configuring update 2 - etc. then configuring 3. After about 5-10 minutes the system reboots and hangs. If I remove the battery and unplug the power source I am finally able to reboot and use the system. Weird stuff!

BTW: nothing is stored on this systme without being backed up multiple ways - online and on external HD.

Thanks again -

Now, it looks more clear.
It seems like some updates can't finish installation.
Since all your data is backed up.....try to reinstall Vista.
