You are referring to Windows 7, correct ?
Did you attempt to manually download, *save*, and install the updates I
previously linked you to ?

Did you uninstall the Norton or McAfee free trial that came preinstalled on
the computer and then download/run the appropriate removal tool before you
installed AntiVir?

I don't think I had a Norton or McAfee antivirus... and if I did, I didn't
uninstall them.

Good, so updates are installing despite the name of the Subject you chose.
Please answer this question:
* Are they showing in the list of Installed Updates *
Using the Windows Update applet in Control Panel, click the Installed
Updates link at the bottom of the left frame.

Did you attempt to install the other update I posted the link to also ?

Update for Windows 7 for x64-based Systems (KB977074)
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=86b3ede2-84ef-44a0-8084-d65af65482be


Was the system able to be Validated or are we going to keep going back
and forth going over the steps I've previously mentioned ?
