I have been having problems installing the Windows updates. I also can not run the bit-defender software (online virus check, http://www.bitdefender.com/scan/licence.php) to check for viruses. I have tried closing all programs except the necessary ones and still don't have any luck.

When you use windowsupdate for updating....and it fails to update ....it generates an error number....and an appropriate link for its explanation...and possible remeidal measures...

just follow that generated link...and act accordingly....

Normally it will ask you to delete previous updated files..and re-download newer one...But ..again that depends on the cause of the failure..

hope it helps..

1.Some Boards can have Anti Virus routines at the CMOS level! Get in there and see if it's enabled. If so, Disable it and try again.

2. See what's running in the Background [While the desktop is open Do: "Ctrl., Alt, Del. This shows whats' currently running].

Good luck
