I am having a bit of a problem and I hope someone here will know the answer to my question I am beginning with the official SP1 iso and using vlite to remove components which are not required for media center, windows update and the "normal" network stuff such as shared folders etc. The problem is that once installed and running windows update, there is something occuring which causes vista to reboot continually. It boots, gets to preparing updates stage 3, shows welcome then shuts down and reboots. This is likely related to an update (which I havent managed to narrow down yet). Has anyone experienced anything similar or does anyone know which component I am removing that could be causing this? All help appreciated, Paul.
