Multiple Updates = Multiple Restarts?

[Guest RemsX]

This may sound like a silly question, but I'm in the process of running

Windows Update for the first time in several months. I'm running Windows

Vista Ultimate and some of the updates in the past didn't install. I tried

several things and they still wouldn't work so I just disable Windows Update.

Today I noticed that a new version of Windows Update was available so I

thought I'd try all the updates. There were a lot of them totalling back all

the way to early April. So far I have no reason to necessarily doubt it's

success, but I'm worried because each time my computer turns on it says

"configuring updates," but then it restarts ("shutting down"). Then it

powers up again and does the same thing again. I think it might be a good

thing because this never happened in the past and maybe that's why the

updates never worked before. BOTTEM LINE: It's happened at least 10 times

now and has been doing so for the last 2 hours.. do you think it's still

continuing to install the updates or should I intervene?

 

Thanks
