Well I'm glad you called that out because it's a false alarm lol.

It let me get to my desktop once but I went to shutdown my computer and it installed those updates again and tried to restart itself.  Now I've got the same exact problem as before but with a BIGGER taste of defeat.  OK. What exactly did you do after booting with Recovery Disc.
Please, re-read my reply #2 for options.I put in the disc and selected windows and my english KEYBOARD.  Then I clicked "repair your computer".  It recognized the vista on my hard drive and I clicked next.  I was never given the screen with all of the TOOLS, it just scanned and then asked me if I wanted to preform a system restore so I clicked ok. It did all of its work and then I could get onto my desktop.  I was prompted to restart from my desktop and when I did it re-installed/tried to configure this update.Are you saying, that you didn't get this:

and then this:

??I got that first picture with the vista/partition thing but when I clicked next it just starts to do a restore.After it finishes that it says click finish to restart now.  If the repairs were successful it will start normally.  Did it in another post for less quote-modify confusion.Are you getting any date selection with System Restore?Not at all.  It lets me click finish and when it restarts windows seems to work perfectly fine.  It's once that windows update installs on shutdown that the problem starts again.  You see what I mean right?Right now I'm on the computer in question and right next to this windows theres a microsoft windows message saying I must restart to apply these changes: restart now or restart later.  I'm just going to let it sit on my desktop.While in Windows, try System Restore again, and select different date.Alright I did it from the 4th and everything seems to be as it wsa before this update of doom (as I so affectionately refer to it now)
Is this going to stop it from trying to update it again or will it occur in as many days as I just set it back?
Disregard the lack of a restart prompt if you managed to read that, it popped up right after I hit save.I can go into the available updates menu and unselect the update but I'm not sure if that would solve the problem or cause me more harm later.First of all, set new restore point.
Secondly, try to restart, and see, if everything is OK (if something happens, now you know what to do, you have Recovery Disc, and new Restore Point).
Thirdly, updates will keep bothering you. You should switch updates option to "Notify me...", instead of "automatic INSTALL". Then you can try install those updates one-by-one, instead of all of them at the same time.

Post back on progress.I CREATED a restore point for right now and that was successful.  Restarted my computer and it started up with no hitches what so-ever.  Changed the settings to tell me about updates but don't install until given the go ahead.

Seems to be working just as before thanks for the help.  Now I'll know exactly what steps to take in the future when I run into problems.  Glad it worked because I was running out of cd's to burn things onto.

Thanks for your contributions everybody.At least, I can go to bed with peace of my mind....LOL
Good job
