Start up and updates cycling (Over and Over)

[Pete Soergel]

Yesterday I stut down my computer just fine. Today when I started it up, it
goes through the steps just fine - almost.

1. It goes through the boot order screen
2. the microsoft screen with the sliding bar
3. the microsoft vista circle

These screens all go fine.

Then the screen for

"Configuring updates: Phase 3 of 3. 0% complete
Do not shut off your computer"

comes up and stays up for about one minute and the % does not change, Very
quickly (Less than 1 second) the login screen is shown. Then the Vista goes
to "Shutting Down" screen.

I have not turned the machine off and this has been cycling for roughly 45
minutes.

Any help would be appreciated.
Pete
