Win7 - Windows Update Error "Service is not running"
Hello, can someone here please kindly help me with my problems re Windows Update ---
I have tried to run Windows Update on my computer and received the following error message:
Attachment 275428
I have tried the Windows Update Troubleshooter for Windows 7 from "Windows Update Cannot Check For Updates" error message when you try to install updates and got this as a result:
Attachment 275430
showing that "Problems installing recent updates" is "Not fixed" and "Check for missing or corrupt files" is "Detected", while all the other problems are "Fixed".
I have downloaded and tried to run the System Update Rediness Tool for "All supported x86-based versions of Windows 7" and got the error message "Installer encountered an error: 0xc8000222":

It seems that my computer is missing Windows 7 Service Pack 1, but when I go to Service Pack Center - Microsoft Windows, it reccommends automatic installation of SP1 with Windows Update - which I can't seem to get running on my computer. It seems that you can also download from Microsoft site and manually install onto your computer but I am not sure if I should proceed to do that...
Any help and suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
