stuck in update loop will windows 7 update fix this?

Hi,

Well Windows 7 also occasionally has the same issue.

You can use the solutions in this KB - 3 methods and I listed a little help for them below.

The update is not installed successfully, you receive a message, and the computer restarts when you try to
install an update in Windows Vista and Windows 7

Method 1: Start Windows Vista/Windows 7 with the Windows installation media, and then use the Repair feature

You can also do a Startup Repair from Safe Mode accessing the Recovery Options if you have them available
or use the DVD as above.

You can also do a System Restore by booting up with a Vista or Windows 7 disk.

Method 3: Use the Downloads at the end of this article - note versions for Vista x86 32 bit and Vista
x64 64 bit.

Once you are in Windows again I would run the Reset here as a precaution.
