    Stuck on failure configuring windows update


    Hey all. I'm the lucky winner who is stuck on the failure configuring windows update reverting changes screen. I reinstalled windows 7 64bit the other day and was doing the 211 updates. Well when it powered back on i got this message. If I can get back to my desktop I would do like 15 updates at a time instead of all 211. I've tried safe mode and all I can't get pasted this screen.

    Any help

    Thanks

    If your system is in the middle of downloading 211 updates it will take from 5 to 24 hours. You probably won't see the download pace bar move.

    Again if your system is doing Windows 7 update downloads just make sure it doesn't go to sleep/hibernation and wait. Do nothing else on the computer.
