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?

    Do you know a way to correct this?

    Nope - maybe your friend remembers the new Admin account's password?

    PS: Neither a new Admin account nor new Standard User account will help you get those Office updates installed. Resetting Windows Update (again) won't help either.

    PPS: If I didn't want to help, I wouldn't have stuck around for two months! <wink>

    yes, you are a good PA Bear:

    Got a thumbtack guy who lives down the block to go into boot mode and fix the flawed password--whew!

    Getting the Office 2007 disk on Thursday to see if that helps with the updates.

    Thanks
