Windows 7: My Windows Update kept failing...

Hello again, sorry for the trouble... But, today I decided to totally format my computer all over again. I have formated my PC with Windows 7 Ultimate, 32-bit. Everything was going smoothly... I installed my regular drivers, Acronis, Adobe then I connect to the net to do a Windows Update first... At first, it detected 42 Important Updates and so, I have started updating them but when I have done 'downloading & installing' them, it says that I have 42 failed updates and 1 common error code = 80070002. I restarted my PC and go all over again but the same things happened. So, I went online to Microsoft and search for the answers and use their solutions like;

And I have tried, System Update Readiness Tool for Windows 7
Installed that and tried updating but it's the same things again. Failed updates for all.

But, completely, no luck... So, I would like to ask what is wrong and can anyone help? Sorry and thanks...

Run this one "MS Fix it" in AGGRESSIVE MODE http://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=9665683

You can also disable 3p security software

If nothing help find CheckSur.log file in C:\Windows\logs\CBS folder and attache to post

Hi and thanks for the help. I tried that application there and ran it in Aggressive mode but still, no luck.
I looked for the CheckSUR.log file but mine is in .txt format so, I'm not sure of that helps... Sorry.

No errors in your log

There is also another "MS Fix it" for this error You receive a "0x80070002" or "0x80070003" error code after you download an update from Windows Update, from Microsoft Update, or from Windows Server Update Services

and additional tip:
do not install all updates at once,split them into small groups (let one group consist with 5 updates) and install only one group at time.

Sorry and thanks for the trouble... I have looked into that site and using that as a last -resort but as of now, I am trying to somethings like...

I splitted the updates into 8 per group and before that, I validate my Windows (not sure if that is any useful)... But, even so, splitting is a wise move. Stupid me and thanks so far!!! Will post results!

Sorry but now it seems to be able to get downloaded and installed but whenever prompted for restarting to complete, I will get Failure configuring windows.

Would it be wise to not to update my Windows? I'm not sure what have I done, I'm using back all the same disc and key for my current PC. Could it be my softwares like Adobe, Acronis or even the drivers (sound, network & display)?

Sorry for my stupidity in my PC.

I would try formatting again. But this time try installing your antivirus first. It's possible for a computer to get infected within just a minute or two after connecting to the internet. Many people on this forum recommend the free Microsoft Security Essentials.

Once your AV is installed, then try your updates. Don't try to install them all at once. Try installing maybe 5 at a time. After a group of 5 is installed check your computer to make sure it's working. If it is, install the next five. If the computer stops working you'll know it's 1 of the last 5 updates. Use your system restore and then install 1 update at a time until you find the one that's causing you problems.

If you can install all of the updates successfully 5 at a time, then start installing Acronis, Adobe, etc (also one at a time, making sure you have a restore point set for each one.)

1337,

Just on the wild hope that you have a virus causing your problem, then follow this draconian procedure which has never failed me regarding getting rid of malware.
