I apologize for installing kb2859537. I just wasn't paying attention. Do I need to remove it? I do have malwarebytes installed. I apologize for abbreviating it in the post. I did run it again, making sure the latest update was there, and there were no issues. What is a BSOD?
BSOD = blue screen of death.
If you didn't get a BSOD, then kb2859537 should be ok. That's what I posted about earlier. It was from last month's batch of updates and they haven't fixed it yet.

This is what MS says in More Information--Known Issues section of the link I gave you
"Known issues with this security update
• In certain automated update deployment scenarios (such as from Windows Update or Microsoft Update), this update may not always install. This would also cause other pending updates not to install. For more information about this issue, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
2552343
Time-out error occurs when you install a Windows Update package that contains drivers on a computer that is running Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2This issue can occur with any windows update package that contains drivers on systems that do not have the critical non-sec GDR update 2552343 installed.
We recommend that you install update 2552343 before you deploy this security update. "
Do you have 2552343 installed?

No. KB2552343 is not installed.
When I try to install kb2552343 I get the message that I need the latest validation tool and to have my clock properly set. I tried to find an update for the validation tool but didn't have any luck. I tried running the Microsoft genuine advantage diagnostic tool and it seemed to work but did not say anything about an update of the validation tool. Thanks for the BSOD explanation!
Validation tool

Copy and paste in the internet server box the update.
time-a.nist.gov
time-b.nist.gov
They do better than most of the others.

In the "internet time savings" box there is
time.windows.com
time.nist.gov
time.nw.nist.gov
time.a.nist.gov
time.b.nist.gov
what am I suppose to do next?
time.a.nist.gov is the one I selected and then clicked the Update now button.
The two I listed, I have found since the Windows 98 days, to be the most consistently on line.
Let it do its thing and it will update the time. Both the Bios clock and the windows clock. Anyway it did both of mine last week.
I selected "time.a.nist.gov" and it said that the clock was reset. what am I suppose to do next?
Eyeball the clock to make sure it did reset, and try to install kb2552343.
Reboot and double check the time, then try.
I loaned my laptop with the problem out for a couple of days. When I get it back I will try your latest advice. I don't want to screw up again and not follow directions!!!
time-a-nist.gov did move the clock. When I tried to download kb2552343 I got this message: Download cannot be saved because an unknown error occurred.
Sorry to take so long to get back.
When I do the "Run the system update readiness tool" I select "All supported x86-based versions of Windows 7". When I download it and run it what is suppose to happen? It took about 15 minutes or so. I cannot seem to find any indication of where it is or what it did.
Try moving on to step 2, then 3.
