I had the same issue, except I had it rebooting all night long on update 3 of
3. It would go to 100% and reboot again, only to install update 3 of 3.
Software running Vista Home premium SP2
It appears norton is shot, Everytime I try to open IE I get the message IE
has encountered a problem. I have several Norton red x's in my bar by my
clock. Norton is 360, exact version or build I can not say, because I can no
longer access it.
I tried to go back with system restore, but was told I had no restore
points. I know this to be incorrect.
The PC is a Toshiba Satellite P205D AMD Turion 64x2 Mobile Technology TL-58
32 bit OS
I have not tried uninstalling Norton Yet, but so far 'easy fixes' have not
been successful. I am not sure why I can open IE up with the link in windows
help. I get the error, but the page did load successfully. I have not tried
other software yet to know the full extent of the problem.
