Windows update 80070Bc2 error

Hi I'm at my wits end. I've tried every solution I can find online and I can't get updates to install.
It will install windows defender updates and office updates, but not
Net Framework 3.5, 3.5.1, Microsoft Security Essentials, among others.
Here are the KB numbers:971033, 2267621, 2478661, 2416471, 982526, 979916, 2446709.
I've tried all the Fix It programs related to this from Microsoft.
I've run the Net Framework clean up tool.
I have no netframework in uninstall programs.
I've even tried downloading the file separately and get something about "Turn Windows Features on or off." Went there but I don't know what I'm supposed to turn on, so I tried turning on everything but I get an error and nothing changes.
PLEASE! Help this is driving me nuts.
Windows 7 64bit Home Premium
SP1 isn't installed either.
Thank You in Advance
Dave

sorry the error is 80070bc9 not 80070bc2.
Sorry

80070BC9 ERROR_FAIL_REBOOT_REQUIRED is that the total error message?

If not please post it.

No, its what comes up after Windows Update fails.
Just says error code 80070bc9.

Possible.

Use
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/e...3-D2C47C6FCFFC

If that does not fix things, see
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/w...troubleshooter
and if that does not help
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2509997 starting with Method 3

Train, it says I already have that update installed.
I deleted the windows/softwaredistribution/downloads contents of the downloads folder.
I get the 80070bc9 error still but now I get 80246007 error also.

Welshjim
first 2 links didn't help.
Ran the troubleshooter and it said it ran sucessfuly and to try updates again.
Still failed.
First link said it wasn't applicable to this computer
Going to try 3rd link will take some time.
I'll let you know when I'm done.

None of the steps you linked me to worked
Still failed
80070bc9 Windows Update has encountered a unknown error
Thanks for trying
I'm thinking a repair or reload of OS
I could have done it by now with all the time I've spent trying to fix this.
Dave

Well this is my mother's laptop and she got it 1 year ago.
She didn't do a factory recovery disks.
Can I still do them or will they just migrate the problem on to them.
Also can I do a OS reoair using my store bought Windows 7 Home Premium disk. (Thats what she has but I guess its OEM)
Thanks
Dave
I've tried everything Microsoft and good people like yourselfs have offered me and it will not update.
I even downloaded the files and tried to install them manually and they just fail.
I'm very disappointed in Microsoft I thought they had fixed a lot of this crap when they came out with Windows 7
As a side thought I noticed that I can't turn on windows firewall.
It says its not using the recommended settings.
But I click on Use Recommended Settings and nothing happens.
Weird for sure
Thanks again
Dave
Also I scanned for viruses and malware and it was clean

Navigate to C:\Windows\System32 and find the Catroot2 folder. Delete it, then reboot the computer, and have another go at updating.

Thanks,
Super Sparks
Already tried that, didn't work

lonewolf--I agree with SpywareDr, but you may find MS takes its time.
In the meantime try this

Something else to consider is a Repair Install,

I went to Microsoft and tried to get support and chose Canada as my place of origin.
When I entered the product key it said that I was in the wrong country.
I realized that my mom bought this in the States.
I couldn't change it no matter what I did, so they wouldn't give me free support.
I doing a reload right now, got tired of fighting with it.
Thanks welshjim, I tried those 2 links already and didn't work.
I've only had a few times where a reload was the only solution but sometimes the computer wins and you lose.
Thanks All
Dave

Next time, you might try exiting IE, running CCleaner to clear your cookies, temp files, etc. then go back and try again.

However, a fresh install is probably better. :)

lonewolf--Try the telephone approach. Be sure to mention it is a Security issue.
1-866-727-2338
I do not know if you can reach US 866 (free) numbers from Canada.

Another possibility

Again be sure to emphasize this is a Security issue.
