Can't update Windows...Included some screenshots...

Hey guys, I have not been able to update my RC of Win7 I ran Norton and made sure all is well and unfortunately is not. I attatched some screen shots of what happens when Itry to update:






I tried restarting and get nothing. Everything else seems to work fine so not really sure here

TIA

Peace

Try this:

click start, run, type services.msc , search for BITS, make sure its running, and right dow the bottom, that windows update is running.

Well i tried that and as in the attatched picture there was nothing that said "BITS" but I tried starting the BitLocker to no avail:



Notice on the pic in the first post it says "Find out more about free software from (null)" wtf is that , I tried clicking and it didn't do anything

Peace

Not BITS but the service named Windows Update, down the list. Right click on it then click Properties. Make sure the Startup Type is Automatic (Delayed Start). If the service is not running then click Start. That should do it.

I thought I was going crazy but I do not have a service named "Windows Update":



Peace

Thats really really wired mate, are you running like a Vlite version or something?

Ya really wierd, I looked at my update list and the last update was done on 5/2/2009 and it was mainly MS Office updates, I did not see any others.

I have the Full RC1 7100 I took a screenshot of my system info below:





Definitely not a "lite" version

Peace

What are you finding extra in his Services. I am running the same, plus a couple specific to my use?

BITS is the pundit abbreviation for "Background Intelligent Transfer Service"

Try and start the service manually. Open the Command prompt and "run as Administrator"
Type
net start wuauserv
If that fails, disable, totally, Norton, which is notorious for cutting services in Windows 7. Then try all again.

Agreed, it does randomly cut services, hence why i dont use it, and because it chews up ya ram quite badly..

I went in command prompt and typed 'net start wuaserv' and got nothing, I then tried 'net start' it then listed several services in which it said started, again no Windows update service, the BITS was re-started and Norton has been totally removed and I still get nothing

Peace
