843857 2009-12-28 08:31:00 I have upgraded my machine to Win 7 home premium 64 bit.

Was running AVG and Spyware terminator also at the time I first came across the problem of being unable to update Win 7.

Thinking something in the security software was interfering with the update I tried again with them disabled/uninstalled. No luck going through the Win 7 updater or directly from MS website

Any ideas how I can do the updates?

Thanks

843858 2009-12-28 08:34:00 If MSSE is installed, uninstall AVG, you dont need 2 AV programs. Did you turn updates on?? Or select an option under change settings (under WU in the menu). Then check for updates? Since you've just installed Win7, have you installed the drivers (if any are needed)? Speedy Gonzales (78)
843859 2009-12-28 09:16:00 Hi Speedy,
Could not even install MSSE!
Updates are on.
All drivers installed without hassles.
Thanks

843860 2009-12-28 09:19:00 Oh, any error messages, when you tried to install MSSE? Did you run the file as admin?? Could be UAC stuffing things up. I killed it on this Speedy Gonzales (78)
843861 2009-12-28 09:36:00 Just tried again with the WU
Got this error code: 8024420F

No help from MS when it directed me there

843862 2009-12-28 09:48:00 Disable any firewalls (if you've installed any), kill spyware terminator. See what happens Speedy Gonzales (78)
843863 2009-12-29 07:36:00 Did that, no luck KiwiPrius (11514)
843864 2009-12-29 07:40:00 Are you using any programs that use a proxy?? ie : IE?? If you are, disable them Speedy Gonzales (78)
843865 2009-12-29 08:56:00 Are you sure you got that error number correct - theres no such reference in ANY of the MS problems ??
