Title: Difficullty with installing updates.
Post by: Sludge on October 23, 2013, 03:32:38 pm

For over the past week, my computer using Windows Vista home premium with Service Pack 2 has been acting strangely with programs failing to load properly or to keep stopping, and my updates, 30, would not install.  I installed your lovely little program, all in one, last night and everything has improved beautifully, but the updates will still not install.  I have tried Microsoft helps and they do not assist.  All last night and most of today all I got was the screen telling me that the updates were at stage 3 of 3 and at 0%.  Can you please assist me with 'nursery language' as I seem to be too old to understand much of the jargon.
Thank you very much in anticipation.
David Sharp.

Sorry for the late reply, how are things so far? Is it still stuck at the bootup screen saying step 3 of 3?

Yes, still having difficulty.  The 'installing' screen is there all night long, but last night it said it had reached 49%, but would not go any further!  After turning the machine off again it was back to the starting to install screen again, 0%.  Since using your program, though, the machine itself, when I can get it to start, is working beautifully, apart from the installing and updating bit.  Wish I could get it sorted as it is competing with my blood pressure pills!!

I wonder if it is a certain update that is having trouble. Have you checked the event viewer for any errors that might tell us which update is being a pain?
