djfabricator:
Forgot to say if I get into updates through control panel it opens but the windows are blank no text. Will screen shot it.

djfabricator:
screen shot, I have the sp1 disk coming so hopefully that will work, may need instructions on what to do! I thought my pc skills were slightly above average but i think i've just demoted myself... I thought I'd got a virus that I couldn't find. so thats a relief. thanks again to you all. Ed

I don't suppose these two commands run from an admin cmd prompt would help but you could try them and see what they return.

nets start bits

nets start wuauserv

To perform an offboot sfc /scannow, tap F12 as you switch on and select the ODD (disk drive) option to boot from, insert the disk and press enter.

Press any key when prompted to boot from the disk and you'll eventually be presented with an inverse window with the top Windows Setup (EMS Enabled) option highlighted.

Press enter and after it has loaded the files etc. use the dropdown to change/confirm the Time and currency format which will auto set the keyboard then press Next.

Click on Repair your computer and when it has located the OS, make a note of the Loctaion - it could be C: or D: then click Next and then Command Prompt.

At the prompt enter (assuming C: ) sfc /scannow /offbootdir=C:\ /offwindir=C:\Windows

When completed enter exit to close the cmd window, remove the disk then click on Restart and let us know what it reported.

I wrote a reply bit not showing up. The cmd commands wouldn't  work but running them as net they came back as service already running. Started into recovery and used your sfc command.  Came back corrupt files unable to fix. Will post the log cbs when back at pc. Thanks.

Boggin:
Hopefully the only files it will be unable to fix were those relating to the KBs but will wait to see your CBS log.

Can you also run a chkdsk /r

When that has completed, go Sart - type eventvwr and press enter

When Event Viewer has read the logs, expand Windows Logs - click on Application - Action - Find and type chkdsk or wininit into the Find box and press enter or click OK

Close the Find box and then you can read the chkdsk report in the scrollable window.

To post the report, click on Copy/Copy details as text in the lower right pane and then right click in the reply box and select Paste.

For some reason which I don't understand, the Paste produces two copies of the log which can be edited so that it just displays the first one - but you can leave it like that if you wish.
