Katpat23,
If you don't mind losing data that you might have on your computer including software you may have already installed. I am assuming you got a pre-installed Windows 7 system. I assume you are still able to boot up to Windows 7. Unplug ethernet connection or disconnet the wifi. First, see if any factory restore cds/dvds/usb flash drive came with your computer not a reinstallation cds/dvds. If not you will need to create them. I assume your computer has dvd burner. You may need up to 10 blank dvd disk (For me it was 3). Look for a tool to create this in the windows start-all programs menu. The program may ask if you want to use the current image on the computer or factory image. Choose the factory image. When done creating the dvds or if you already have then, insert the dvd and reboot. Choose factory image if you are asked for a choice. Then follow the instructions provided by the dvd. You may need your oem key listed on the computer, write it done. When done with the restore, connect a Ethernet cord to your computer, then you should be able to run windows update.
If you don't have that program or have restore disk. There are sites out there that can tell you how to do the repair install of windows 7 in simple terms. Unfortunately, I don't have any links. Good luck :)
