Windows Updates Not Loading -- really confused

Dear Noel

Thank you .... buuuutttt that zip file you refer to (hznaa.zip) is not listed on the link when I right-click and open your one-drive link.

Am I looking for the right thing?

Kat

Dear Noel

Thank you. I have found the right file, downloaded it, right-clicked and extracted.

I saved it to Downloads which is under my user name, even though I'm also administrator. Now it won't let me copy the files to the Packages folder because it says I don't have permission. I have tried various ways to run as administrator and it's not working, so I can't go to the EVC to run the command yet.

Also, when I did try to copy/paste the files to the Packages folder, there was an older version there. I presume I copy and replace the old version?

Sorry about all those smileys (or frownies). I'm attaching a .docx of the same results.

The multiple language files might have something to do with loading the dictionary for Open Office, the most recent update containing none for English and thus indicating that every single word is misspelt! Or, perhaps something else.

Anyway, here's the results from the MGADiagnostic tool:

This result is like the kiss of death to me. "Repair Install" is NOT what I wanted to hear -- it isn't anything I can fathom at all.

For example, I follow your link to instructions for doing this, and I get "don't do a clean install" and some of these things (insert stuff) may be affected by a clean install, but then there is row upon row upon row of instructions that includes things like:

You can only do a repair install with the same edition Windows 7 installation disc for the same edition of Windows 7 that you have installed.
You cannot use a OEM Windows 7 "Factory" Restore/Recovery type of installation disc that came with or created from a store bought computer to do a repair install with. These can only be used do a clean install instead.
You can do a repair install on a factory OEM installation with the latest official Windows 7 with SP1 ISO file here: Microsoft: Windows 7 Direct Download Links, and use Windows 7 USB-DVD Download Tool to create a bootable DVD or USB flash drive with the ISO to do the repair install from within Windows 7.

This is just gobbledygook to me. I admitted in my very first post that I'm not au fait with the inner workings behind the computer -- it's just a tool to me -- and any talk about link downloads and tool downloads and retail product key (darn computer just CAME with Windows 7 -- what then???) and install 7-zip and such, I just don't understand.

So I imagine now you'll cut me loose because I'm a Windows 7 dummy, but I sure hope I can get some further guidance that will help me with my computer. I haven't got the money to buy a new one, but the time this is taking me to get basically nowhere is making that look like the only solution.
