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?

    PA Bear:

    If you don't want to help, let me know and I'll make this general.

    Friend came, added a new administrator with a password. I somehow managed to mistype that and then tried to get rid of that new account. I can still get into my desktop but any changes to programs or installing updates, etc requires a password that is now invalid. I have failed to create a new administrator as that requires the defunct password to work.

    Do you know a way to correct this? I just want to go back to my alternate one that doesn't have a password and is letting me get into desktop.

    A. User and Thrashzone:

    Thank you for all the help. Still getting messages about those links not working.

    A friend is giving me an authentic Office 2007 disk and I'll uninstall and install and see if that fixes the issue. If not, it may make your solution work.

    thx yes, he ran a 2 hr long Microsoft scan that found no problems, gave me a 500 gig recovery system, and is going to give me a legit Office 2007 disk, recommending uninstalling and re-installing.

    I just did the links NElder is using for update fixes and both those are installed on my computer already.

    My friend says that at least the system updates are installing. Maybe the Office 2007 overhaul will fix the rest of it.

    Thanks for your time, & sorry all those tries didn't get the brass ring!
