Hi,
I'm having trouble installing service pack 1 for Vista on a HP laptop.
PROBLEM: Laptop just keeps saying "installing service pack stage 3 of 3 - 100% complete, Do not turn off your computer." Then it says "shutting down". It restarts and says the same thing again and again and just continues in a continuous loop. I cannot exit from this or minimize the screen.
*I cannot open anything or click anything as this is the only thing the laptop shows.
I do not have the Vista installation CD as the laptop came with it already installed and it will not allow me to boot in any safe mode.
*I know there are automated restarts but I have left this for a week and it is still just looping!
Any help at all would be greatly appreciated as I am completely snookered with this.
Thanks in advance!
