Windows 7 home premium update errors 8007005 and 8000ffff

Hello Fellow members,
I am nearly a pensioner and a relative novice in computing.I am having  problems with windows 7 update errors 8007005 and 8000ffff.I have tried manual install.All the microsoft fix it tools some of which tell me my errors are fixed when in fact they are not.I am a member of the Which computing mag and on line help service.They gave advice but with no results.I have run The Tweaking.com repair tool again with no joy.sfc /scannow told me i had corrupt files which could not be fixed.To add to this a window keeps popping up telling me my windows 7 home premium is not genuine.When i go into my computer it tells me my windows is activated and shows me my id number.I have rung Microsoft and they confirmed my windows 7 is genuine so why the pop ups.For £65 they can fix all my problems.If members or Tweaking.com can help this grey haired old man then it would make my day and you would put one over on all these so called experts.

Sounds like you have a lot of corruption in your Windows install.

The best thing to do is a repair install, which keeps all your programs and files.

First you need a Windows 7 cd with SP1 on it, you can grab that here

Then simply follow this guide :wink:

Good Morning Shane,
Many Thanks for taking the time and trouble to sort me out.Out of all the experts you are the only one to not only give me a practical solution but you have shown me where to get all the download and installation details.Your help and advice has been very much appreciated.
I have gone on to the tutorial site and one thing it mentions is to be sure to have the Device Drivers ready to re-install.Please can you show me how to do that.

                                                                                  Very Best Wishes

You should be ok, the drivers normally carry over.

Only driver that matters is the network driver, that way afterwards you can get online and download what you need. Normally network drivers transfer over fine :-)

Hello Shane,
Many Thanks for your help.Im sure i will get stuck again. But believe me i will have a good go myself before getting in touch with you.I do think it is important to do that first.
