win7 update,unknown error.help!
hi folks. for the life of me i cant get windows update to run.it keeps hitting this unknown error.ive tried to fix this myself but my knowledge is very limited and i cant do it.ive searched the windows database to try and find out exactly what this error means but as far as i can tell its not even listed anywhere. ive only had this laptop a few days,bought it 2nd hand so i dont know if this problem existed for the last owner as well. i thought a sysytem restore might do it but there are only 2 restore points available,both created while this problem was evident. anyway,id be most greatfull of any help offered.thankyou!
the message i get after update check runs for 2 seconds is:
an error occured while checking for new updates. error code:80070005 windows encountered an unknown error.
