I've been trying to resolve an issue with Windows Update failing on my system (Win7 Pro 64bit). The last time updates ran successfully wsa 7/13. I'm running Norton 360 and spent an hour with their tech support person before he gave up on me.
Any point in the right direction would be much appreciated.
