Hi Barry, I have a sighted wife and it was her that sore that my computer had stopped and it was she that tried with the mouse to switch the computer off, and it did not work. So we had to switch off the computer by pressing the button that you switch the computer on.

How long have you tried leaving it? I have very scant experience with Vista as I bypassed it and went to 7. They are very similar in allot of instances though. Windows Updates on 7 will require you to reboot to finish updating files that are locked when the system is running. It can take 5 or 10 minutes in some cases for the update to complete on some systems, and then boots to Windows. If after leaving it for say 10 or 15 minutes on the outside and it's still not doing anything there may be a problem. Do you know or can you either read yourself or, grab a pair of eyes to tell us what updates Vista is trying to install and getting stuck on? Barry. -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of David Sent: Thursday, July 15, 2010 2:20 PM To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Computer jamming up Hi, When I switch my computer on, Vista at first is loading up new updates, but it keeps on jamming to the point that I can not switch off the computer, unless I hold down the button to tern on the computer. Can any one tell me what to do as I can not access the computer at all?
