Windows 7 wont update!

WAT (kb971033) is part of the Anti-piracy check, thats why its used to validate systems ,if its not installed then MS takes a dim view of the users comp.

Oh alright, It's just that I've seen other users install this KB in the past and still didn't work for them so yeah. My method also works fine but whatevs.

EDIT: After I installed all updates with WSUS, my Windows Updater started to work again. Just showing how I fixed my problem (Which was similar to his), that's all.

It worked! thank you so much for helping me Tyler1118 you are the best!!!!!

Wasn't having a go at you Tyler, but that error code is fixed 99 out of 100 times by the install of that KB.
if you run the tool from this link
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=52012
you get your own Mgadiag

IF you then read this thread you will see the difference between the 2, uninstalled - installed
Is my Windows Pro genuine?

No problem, just make sure you have all the updates installed or try using Windows Update now and see if it works.

I will. Thanks again sir!

And if your system specs are correct YOU DO NOT HAVE THAT KB installed.
