Latest Vista Update stuck in Stage 3/restart loop

Anonymous

I have Vista Business system on a Toshiba notebook, latest Service Pack and with all updates. It was fully functional when i last shut it down. I just booted it up to find the Stage 3 page of a Windows update. 0% progress shown, then it restarts, and opens at the same page again. Stuck in this loop. Have tried using F8 to get last good installation, and to stop auto restart, without success, it just keeps returning to the Stage 3 page and reboots. Tried Systems Repair which offered a System Restore, but that wouldn't start. System Repair now just keeps showing progress (for 3/4 hour) without any HD activity. I shut it down and it still restarts at same Stage 3 page.

I am having serious issues with the latest update for windows Vista i.e.

Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer 9 for Windows Vista (KB2761451)

Security Update for Microsoft.Net Framework 2.0 on Windows Vista SP2 and Windows Server 2008 SP2 x86 (KB2729453)

Security Update for Windows Vista (KB2727528)

Security Update for Windows Vista (KB2761226)

It hangs my laptop thrice and every time to the last known good configuration. I have now had to disable windows update as it is no good at the time. Can Microsoft please fix the bug and ensure that update sent to their consumer help and not harm their computer systems please.

I wait for your assurance before turning my update setting back on.

Thanks
