MY LAPTOP WENT OFF DURING UPDATES NOW IT WONT FINISH LOADING, it comes up update 3 of 3 then restarts and says same again keeps doing it not letting me in to lap top anymore seems stuck on updates

Did you power off during updates, or un intented shutdown happened during updates.
Any noise coming from laptop like click click, something slipping again and again.

You should run repair as well as disk check to fix and repair entries.

Try booting into safemode(tap the F8 key during bootup) till you get to a black screen,you should see the option "Restore to factory settings"...highlite that and press ENTER,that will put your computer back to the way you had it when you first got it.Please let me know how you make out..good luck :)

Give this a try,to clear what may be a faulty update.
1. Turn off your console
2.press the sync button on the console
3.still pressing the sync button, turn on your console with the power button.
4.wait until fully booted up, then release the sync button, this will clear any faulty updates, then try loading the update again.
If that still does not work you can download updates on to a dvd rom, just google downloading updates to console.aspx.
Vote if this helps.

Your computer has downloaded and installed a few updates. You need to allow the laptop to complete this sequence of events. Once completed your computer will boot just like normal. If you do shutdown the computer before the installation is complete you may have to download and install the same updates again. This is perfectly normal...do not take your computer to a repair shop!

Use the roll back feature to restore the computer to a date prior to updating, restart and then do the updates

If you are updating windows xp and it says installing updates when you are shutting down your computer, you should let it finish, even if it tales overnight. depenind on how many updates you have, better to go to the updates web site and do it from there. after they have installed then you should be able to do a restart on your computer and compleate. Any thing ells you are best off contacting MicroSoft

When you turn the laptop on hit f8 until the menu comes up, try use the last good known configuration. If that does not work tap f8 goto safe mode and then to system restore and restore it to an earlier time. Let me know if it works.

hi dear

just press F5 before start windows, entering safe mode ....and you can try to uninstall the AVG first, after that try to re installed again

ok
cropp

Seems like your VISTA upgrade didn't sucessfully upgrade itself from XP to VISTA. Seems like M$ update program detects your OS as XP and tries to install the SP3 for XP. VISTA only has SP1 released. Its currently stuck in a loop that it doesn't know what to do. Restart your laptop into safe mode by pressing F8 before the VISTA loading page comes up and go to Safe mode and backup your data and use the ACER RESTORE CD OR ACER RESTORE METHOD to help you reload your system back to factory defaults then upgrade back to vista without install any updates or connecting it to the internet.

This is my best solution to get you out of this weird and unusual situation.

just press the off button and then turn back on again the downloaded updates will continue after that
