I recently built a brand new computer, all new hardware. I installed vista business x64 sp1 OEM (just to be clear, sp1 is included in this version, so I'm not trying to update TO sp1) without a problem and everything ran great. While I was getting accustomed to vista, it was background downloading updates automatically, and then it auto installed them. Naturally, vista then asked me to restart to finish installation, which I did. Heres where things went south.
After rebooting, and trying to finish installation, something must have gone wrong because I was presented a screen saying:
"Updates were not configured correctly. reverting changes. Do not shutdown."
Followed soon afterwards by:
"Shutting Down"
The computer then proceeded to reboot and go back to the exact same screen, shutdown, and loop. I let it do this for an hour before I just powered down. So, I reformatted the partition, checked for hdd errors, of which there were none, and reinstall vista. This time I was careful to not let it install the updates, but somehow it managed to anyways while I slept, and again the updates were not configured correctly and it did the shutting down loop all night. It was not a pleasant surprise when I woke up and now Im going to have to spend a few hour reinstalling vista, all my drivers, and software...again.
So, I have two options/queries
1: I need to know how to prevent vista from auto downloading updates and installing them.
-or-
2: I need to know what I can do to fix this problem with updates that vista installs and configures without any input from me, so the computer doesnt fall into the reboot loop.
Thanks for any help.
