major update problem on OS windows 7 home premium

hello forumers and happy new year by the way.

last night when i tried to close the laptop it automaticly started to do the updates,
well from last night that is like 11hours its still saying installing update 2 from 6...
and i still got another 4updates!!!..whats happpening,how long will it take to install everything,i need the laptop for my school!

please help if possible.

best regards.

What's your internet? Dialup? Broadband? Speed? Who is your ISP? Have you gone over your quota?

Good morning mate

my internet speed is 5804 kbps.im with optus.ive got dial up ethernet connection to modem.
my screen is just blue with the circle thing going around and around,cant even turn off the laptop..took the ethernet
cable off the laptop and hooked it to my pc so i can post this message,and the updates are still showing on the laptop.

I would say the dialup is your problem. Some of those updates are huge especially SP1. If you had someone close by with wireless you could get the updates in no time.

If it is saying that it is installing updates after all this time some thing is amiss. Has it made any more progress or just sitting there at the same percent?

thank you for the information mate.but what can i do for now,just let it do the updates,cos i really dont have a choice from what i see,its the blue screen stating the progress of the updates.so ill do what you stated 1000000% next time,cos this is frustrating.

its on update 2 still...but i dont have it connected to the internet,ill hook it up.

is this recommended?

Disable Automatic Windows Update

pls tell me.

i was so frustrated that i took out the battery,the laptop is working fine,but i got that message again to install updates.

oh no!

suddenly now that im turning off the laptop again,im getting a message installing update 5 of 6,alltohug i had taken out the battery!and its not even connected to the internet!

laptops gone nuts.
