[QUOTE="garym, post: 1514083, member: 242975"] 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! [/QUOTE]
