Cannot install Windows Updates

<< < (7/7)

Shane:
Since sfc found files it couldn't fix then that means the problem could be file related. When that happens it can be a pain to trace it down. So instead a repair install would be faster.

A repair install keeps your programs and settings, it isnt a fresh install.

First you need a windows 7 cd that has sp1 already on it, iof you dont have one you can download a iso image from this link

Then once you have that just follow this guide.

A repair install is pretty easy to do, just follow that guide and let me know how it turns out :wink:

I think the offboot sfc /scannow would be a quicker option to try first.
