"Here's the story. The son of a close friend called, because he
had a problem with his computer. Without going into the gory
details, I had to reload it from scratch. Of course, at the time
that he bought the computer, it was ONLY available with Vista. So I
started reloading from the DVD. About two hours into the
load/update/reboot/update/reboot cycle, it puked all over itself
and then couldn't install an update. I found something at Microsoft
that purported to fix this problem, tried that, and it made the
situation even worse, the computer then just looped through
booting, saying "Installing updates 3 of 3 ..." and then rebooting,
over and over again."
