Hi,
We have the same problem.
This morning a Windows Vista Business Edition in our office is down
after applying Microaoft Automatic Update. The update in the process of
rebooting, hangs at the screen with this message "configuring updates".
And nothing works trying to fix/restore the system, even trying to boot
in the safe mode . The repair from the original disk also does not
work?
Has anyone else had the same problem?
Is there any fix?
This is really bad ....

Hello,
Use F8 and choose not to autorestart,
What is the error message that you are getting?

boot to the DVD and choose the repair option in the loser right-hand side
of the screen.
Let it try to repair your system.
There should be a system restore option that would allow you to roll back.
Thanks,
Darrell Gorter[MSFT]

Hi Darren,

Thanks for trying to help. I spent 73 Minutes with Microsoft Support
Level 2 and he could not fix the problem. His last recommendation was to
reinstall windows Vista and all other applications. I told him that
would be my last option as installing Vista by itself take long time and
as we are a software company we have huge amount of software and tools
installed on our PCs.

But for the Record and for benefit of other people with windows Vista,
don't install windows update until this issue is address. It might be
safe for many people to install the update but if there is even a small
chance of loosing your OS and all applications installed on it don't
risk it.

I found a way... Without re-installing everything
- Boot with your Vista installation DVD
- Perform a "System Restore" (to access this choose "Repair your
computer" AND NOT "Install now")
- Select a restore point (before the upgrade)

Then, my computer restarted properly.

The first thing I did then was to disable the automatic update.

Hope it will work for you as well !

While this may work, it is a poor solution at best and Microsoft needs to
address their update issues and if nothing else put a loop counter or
something on the number of restarts to break the cycle.. I'm sorry, but this
torques me off... after all the warnings you get about leaving your
automatic update settings on...

Same issue here - Vista Home Premium.

Vista was pre-installed on this system so I don't have a Vista installation
DVD I can try using for this work around..

not happy.
