Having a problem here. I am away from home for a few weeks, so I don't have
my Vista cd's with me.
I noticed Vista installed a bunch of updates throughout the day today (maybe
10). I got a notification saying not all updates were installed. I
attempted to install the 2 that hadn't installed. There was an error
installing, so I decided to reboot.
Now when I try to boot, everything looks normal, I get the first Vista
screen. Then my display (I have the system hooked directly to a TV through
S-video) briefly flickers off as if the computer turned off. Then for a
moment I see the mouse icon, which I can control. The whole system then
restarts every time. It will go through this whole process repeatedly and
Vista itself never actually boots. Even when I try to start in safe mode,
the same thing happens.
As I said, I won't have my vista cd's for a few weeks. Is there anything at
all I can do, or do I have to wait to try to "repair windows" with the vista
disc? Thanks for any suggestions.
