I though the video looked promising. So I tried Plan I, cleaning the Windows Update Cache. I did all of the steps successfully, but it didn't help. I skipped Plan II because I really didn't know what to look for. I did perform Plan III, trouble shooting, "Fix Problems with Windows Update," and...

Thanks. I'm going to run the video on my iPad, and stop it at each step, and thry the ideas suggested...but not tonight. I'll let you know what happens. Thanks again for continuing to come up with ideas. I think I am not alone with this problem. One would think MS would have come up with a...

I decided to try a "Restore to Factory Settings," thinking perhaps that option was within Windows. What I was directed to was "System Restore," which restores the computer [as you well know] to an earlier point in time. I've tried this before, and it never finished the operation for some reason...

Hello, Saltgrass. I have returned hjome [Florida] and culled my various disks. I have four: 1. "Reinstallation DVD Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit." I hesitate to use this; looks to me like it's for reinstalling all of Windows 7, and I'm uncomortable starting that process just to fix "update." 2...

Thanks for your help. I looked up Repair Install Windows 7 and found a really encouraging article. I THINK I have a disk back in Florida (our home) that is the OEM Windows 7 install disk. If not, I have a number of repair disks I made shortly after getting the laptop, and one of them might help...

Sorry. I'm back. If I download Download Windows 7 Integrated With SP1 ISO ? Official Direct Download Links, won't I be downloading all of Windows 7 OS, integrated with SP1? If I attempt to use that, will it just overwrite by Windows Home Premium OS? or will I end up with two OS on my hard drive...

No, I didn't see your edit about ther reboot.xml file. I may pass that one. I'm nervous about it. I DID delete the most recent update listed on "Installed Updates," [other then the Adobe update that occurred just fine after all of this problem started.] I uninstalled the most recent update dated...

Thanks again for your suggestions. I am sure i do not have the SP1 Windows 7 DVD, but I do have original disks supplied with the Dell when I bought it, plus all manner of backup disks I made of the operating system soon after I got the laptop.. But they are all in Florida, and I'm in Indiana...

1. Well! The sfcdetails.txt IS on my desktop. I didn't notice [until your reply] that it had appeared there. I will attach it for your perusal. 2. I don't know what to do to address the WinHTTP errors. I've done everything that I think you suggested, and some things appear not to work. 3. I'm...

I ran the RegMender section of "How to fix Windows Update Error 80070BC9" which you found in a log. When I ran http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details_aspx?id=3965 I got a window that said this was not applicable to my system. So then I ran http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058 and...

OK. I did Temporary connection-related errors may occur when you use Windows Update or Microsoft Update all except Method F, and I have no idea how to do that. I will now try the appropriate RegMender.

Sorry I have been away from this problem for a couple of days, but other things took precedence. I brought up Command Prompt as Administrator, right clicked, and pasted findstr /c:"[SR]" %windir%\Logs\CBS\CBS.log >"%userprofile%\Desktop\sfcdetails.txt", and I immediately got a new command...

I tried to reinstall (repair, whatever) updater, but whenever I clicked on the URL you supplied, it forced me to reboot. So i gave up on that. I tried to find the two logs and was unable to find them. When I get the command prompt as an administrator, I get C:\windows\system 32\ > and can't get...

Also, Malwarebytes found NO malware.

Never have been able to find the CheckSUR.log Did run SFC/scannow, and it found "corrupt files but unable to fix some of them." Then looked for the CBS.log, which was allegedly generated, even looked for windir\logs\CBS\CBS.log, [listed when SFC/scannow run finished] and could not find that...
