update Window 7 Professional

Only updates that include the 64 info in the title of the update are being allowed to successfully update. The code was 6BB, then changed to a #d one, but I didn't get that written down. I've tried the download of the Repair.bat as administrator and that didn't work. I've run

Troubleshooters that have come up and they think they've fixed everything, but still only a few updates can download. This has been true since February. I thought they were downloading as I've re-tried updating previously and eventually the update window will say "no new important updates"--but those still had failed...updater just seems to have given up on them.

Help! I bought this hard drive for $800 last year to replace the one with Vista that was always difficult. That plus the tech's hours make this an expensive mistake. Does anyone know how to fix this without reloading Win 7?

    ThrashZone:

    Is there somewhere I can request those specific Win 7 x64 updates? I don't have any you have listed in my installed updates.

    Thanks for suggestions on windows updates settings.

    PA Bear:

    Microsoft Office Enterprise 2007 will not allow me to select "Change" in Programs & Features

    Yes, security updates.

    Is it possible that this is being caused by Kaspersky interfering with security updates?

    My best guess is that not having my Office 2007 updates download is not a terrible loss.

    ...unless they're security updates - in which case the computer should NOT be connected to the internet or any local networks (i.e., other computers).

    PS: Have you run that Repair yet or...?

    I have office 2007 and it and everything else updates just fine,

    You can get a office download from M$ if you know the activation key from here

    https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/office?culture=en-US&ref=pkc&wa=wsignin1.0

    My updates to avoid list below

    Some are classed as recommended and some optional but all are in the Optional section

    If you have your update setting set to exclude Recommended updates from being mixed into the Important updates section they get sorted properly

    And yes usually Recommended updates cause all the trouble.
