Try downloading and installing the Sysyem Updates Readiness Tool, which attempts to fix updating problems.

Download: System Update Readiness Tool for Windows 7 for x64-based Systems (KB947821) [August 2011] - Microsoft Download Center - Download Details

I've given you the link for the 64-bit version of Windows 7 as your specs say that's what you're using.

That report looks fine - so there's no apparent problem with Validation that could be interfering with WU.

Please also open an Elevated Command Prompt window, and run the following commands

net start wuauserv
net start bits
SC QC WUAUSERV
SC QC BITS

copy and paste the response into your reply (click on the black/white icon top left of the window, click on Edit...>Select All, and hit the Enter key to copy the whole thing to the clipboard, you can then paste it to your response).

So far everything looks OK - I can't see what service the error is complaining about

Please try the following -
Reboot - and allow 5 minutes before touching the machine after logon
open an Elevated Command Prompt window
run the following command
SC QUERY TYPE= SERVICE >servlist.txt

then attach the file C:\Windows\System32\servlist.txt to your response.

Nothjing Came up, i pressed enter and it went to new line?

 

[NoelDP]

That's normal - the results were save in the file, rather than printed to the screen.
just look for the file C:\Windows\System32\servlist.txt and attach it to your reply

 

[NovaWWE]

[SC] EnumQueryServicesStatus:OpenService FAILED 1060:

The specified service does not exist as an installed service.

 

[NoelDP]

Is that all that's in the file??
In that case you ran it from an ordinary Command Prompt - not an Elevated one.
Try again in an elevated command prompt, and attach the file to your response.

I did the whole Right Click - Run as Administrator Thing and did what u said and same thing came upp in serves list.

 

[NoelDP]

OK, it turns out that the specifier doesn't seem to be needed - so use this

[B]SC[/B]<space>[B]QUERY[/B]<space>[B]>servlist2.txt[/B]

Please paste the Command prompt window contents (or a screencap of it)
the file will be found in the System32 folder as
C:\Windows\System32\servlist2.txt

Tried this and it said Windows could not find file, and thn i tried going into System32 to find servlist2 and theres not one

 

[NovaWWE]

Dont worry guys i fixed it! all i had todo was install service pack 1

 

[NoelDP]

Well done! - I *may* have thought of that one, but probably wouldn't have suggested it, as installing SP's can make problems worse, rather than better.

Good Luck!
(Thanks for coming back to let us know)

That's great news.
