Cannot check for updates, no updates in 5 years

Didn't know that. But it makes sense.

Boggin:
Just another thing to try before going the whole hog with the repair install and that is to boot up with the Win 7 SP1 install disk - select Repair your Computer then navigate to the Recovery Environment and select Command Prompt.

You can change the Boot order by tapping F12 as you switch on, select CD/DVD - insert the disk and press enter.

You will be momentarily prompted to press any key to boot from CD/DVD.

At the command prompt type bcdedit |find "osdevice" and press enter (that is the pipe symbol before find)

Using whichever letter it gives for the partition enter (assuming C: ) sfc /scannow /offbootdir=C:\ /offwindir=C:\Windows

When the scan is complete let us know what it reports and type exit - press enter to close the window - remove the disk - click on Restart then try Windows Updates again.
