If your computer is running Windows 7, try these steps in the order
listed, please:

1) Ensure that the system has not been compromised by malware. Do a scan
with the installed security software. If the installed security software
has not been kept up to date or it does not function properly, then do
an online scan or, better yet, download a Rescue CD, burn it to a CD,
and do an offline scan of the system -

Online scanners or downloadable scanning tools -

Microsoft Safety Scanner

ESET Online Scanner

Rescue CDs -

2) Windows 7 - SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker

3) Troubleshooting with the System Update Readiness Tool

4) Do an in-place upgrade (aka, Repair Installation, which retains all
of your User data ) of Windows 7

If none of the above resolve the updating issue then the only other way
to resolve it is to do a CLEAN installation of Windows 7.
A CLEAN installation will DELETE ALL OF your USER data !
