Windows 7 Cannot get Windows update to work

[geno368]

I am running a Gateway desktop with Windows 7 Premium 64bit. I have been trying to install sp1 but I keep getting errors (0x8007371b) I went to all the self help files and it wanted me to do an update of windows update. I also ran the microsoft fixit tool. Still nothing. I even went to the download center to get it. I also get error (80073712). I also ran the system readiness tool like they suggested. I always remember that live help for windows update was free so I was on the phone with a so called tech which was a waste of time. She then wanted to go into my system remotely for fee based help...My system is very clean and by the way I temp disabled my Avast while I tried to install the updates. What now?

Bigbearjedi, thanks for your replies. I think I replaced the hard drive in this gateway and the old drive was in my old acer.
I will run the memory and hard drive scans and report, but the system seems to be running fine.

Sure thing, Geno! So you have Windows7 SP1 now running ok then?

If that's the case, very glad to hear that.
