That seemed to run except it wouldn't reboot - in fact afterwards the computer wouldn't switch off. However, I forced a reboot (not in a very sophisticated manner!!!) and the log is here.

Btw, it seemed to turn off my firewall, which I turned back on.

OK I have just completed one similar to this and the error is in an obscure area

Please download MiniToolBox, save it to your desktop and run it.


 
Checkmark the following checkboxes:
  • Flush DNS
  • Report IE Proxy Settings
  • Reset IE Proxy Settings
  • Report FF Proxy Settings
  • Reset FF Proxy Settings
  • List content of Hosts
  • List IP configuration
  • List Winsock Entries
  • List last 10 Event Viewer log
  • List Installed Programs
  • List Devices
  • List Users, Partitions and Memory size.
  • List Minidump Files

Click Go and post the result (Result.txt). A copy of Result.txt will be saved in the same directory the tool is run.
 
Note: When using "Reset FF Proxy Settings" option Firefox should be closed.

OK lets now see if we can resolve it

Warning This fix is only relevant for this system and no other, using on another computer may cause problems

Be advised that when the fix commences it will shut down all running processes and you may lose the desktop and icons, they will return on reboot

Run OTL
  • Under the Custom Scans/Fixes box at the bottom, paste in the following


Code: [Select]
:Commands
[CREATERESTOREPOINT]
 
:Reg
[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\IPSec\Policy\Local]
 
:Files
regsvr32 polstore.dll /c

:Commands
[Reboot]
  • Then click the Run Fix button at the top
  • Let the program run unhindered, reboot the PC when it is done
  • Open OTL again and click the Quick Scan button. Post the log it produces in your next reply.

It still goes to that screen.

I arrive at the Windows Update site, it asks me if I want to do express update or custom.

I click express.

It checks for latest updates.

Then goes to that page where it says its broken (that I showed you before).

Could you try custom please, as this is not a run of the mill problem and I may need to dig deeper

It seems to have improved things. It now gives me this screen when I press express.

You should now be able to install SP3 from the MS site.  Once everything is done can you let me know how the computer is behaving
