my vista is stuck in a restart loop. iget the message configuring updates stage 3 of 3 0% complte. then it says shutting down and it reboots back to the same config message. i have tried safe mode but istead of going to the safe desktop it just goes to that config message and restarts again. it does the same if i use the use last good config option from the safe menu. before this started i was running a reg defrag, so i think it is causing this loop. how can i get vista to restart as i cant get to the desktop for a restore. this has been running cont since yesterday.
