Broni,

I went to the restore point like you said. The last restore point that it would let me go to was that vista sp1 so I restored at that point. Everything seemed fine till the loop started all over again. That configuring 1 of 3 updated do not turn off you COMPUTER. Then the windows loading files, then the start up repair. Microsoft says it is because I did not complete updating to the Vista sp1 and they want me to down load it again. What do you think. Do I have to do this to fix my problem? Can I go without having that Vista SP1?

Thank you.
