Windows 7 no longer updating, code 80070002
On Aug 27, 2012 my system first indicated it had a problem because it could not install updates. The update history is completely gone even though it had installed many updates since first being activated.
I've done searches and completed all the usual steps with no success. These include
- Microsoft automated "Fixit"
- Clearing the update history folder.
- Memory tests - run all weekend with no errors.
- Chkdsk with surface scan - no errors.
- Admin Cmd Prompt-> SFC /SCANNOW (exits after a few seconds with "Windows Resource Protection could not perform the requested operation.")
- Windows Repair Install (Fails with "Windows cannot copy files ... 80070241"). I've tried it using the genuine original installation DVD and also tried it using the "flat" install method with no luck.
MS Security Essentials and MalwareBytes both say there are no threats. I'm all out of spit and bailing wire. Any suggestions?
