Windows 7 Home Premium: Please help...Programs Will Not Update

Hi everyone.

For the past couple months I've noticed something odd on my PC. Programs that need updating (Windows, nVidia, MSE, etc.) will not download any updates. I click the update buttons in these programs and it starts the progress bar, but then after a few minutes it says it cannot download any updates. I don't have the firewall on and I don't have any aggressive settings in browsers or Windows. I've ran a couple tools - Microsoft EasyFix, Windows Update Diagnostic - but still the problem persists.

I've never had any issues getting updates with my programs before so I'm curious what the issue could be. I thought I would ask the WinExperts here about this, because you guys have always been very helpful in the past with my other PC issues.

I started a thread in the Win 7 Help Forums: Windows 7 Home Premium: Please help...Programs Will Not Update, but some of the users suggested I come here. You can check out that thread for more information and to see what progress has been made so far.

This problem just gets stranger every day, so any advice/suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hi Thrash. Thanks for the reply.

Filled in some specs for my PC. Not sure what all you need to be helpful, but I filled in as much as I could. I've had MSE for about a year. I can't get the nVidia drivers to install, manually or otherwise. . However I did get Windows Updates to install last night.

Attached are the screenshots you asked for.

Never mind you spliced them together

Lol ... yep :)

Yes, I believe so. I posted the MB scan results as a text file in the other thread. I can run another scan if you want me to, but it will have to be later tonight when I get home from work.

Ran the scan. It found nothing.
