902440F error message

Hi,

I have a problem updating Windows 7 and Office 2010. I'm running the 32 bit version of Windows 7. I only have IE installed as a browser with silverlight enabled and only MS firewall/ default security software installed. I have not installed any 3rd party

softwear, firewalls or anti virus.

I have tried a number of the solutions previously posted on the site, None of which have worked. Here's what I've done so far:

This was a clean install of both Windows 7 and Office 2010. I installed windows 7 first. All updates for Windows 7 installed until I received a message that no more updates were available. I then installed Office 2010, selecting the option to update other

Microsoft products on the updater. SP 1 for office was installed and then I received the error message above.

I have tried a fresh install again. After installing updates and then selecting update other microsoft products the updater says

Most recent check for updates: never

Updates were installed: never

You receive updates: For Windows and other products from Microsoft Update

Again with the error message in the heading.

There seems to be a number of posts about this with different suggestions. Here's what I've tried

1. Windows update troubleshooter says that it repaired problems (update databases error Ox8007005 windows update components repaired) here's a copy of the output report...

I haven't posted the windows update notepad output due to its length.

2. Windows update Fix it. I've run this in both default and aggressive modes, and the tool says I have no problems requiring fixing.

3. I ran services.msc and updated the Windows Update file and Background Intelligent Transfer Service to "automatic" and selected start and apply

4. I downloaded a fresh copy of Java direct from the Java website

5. I ran the fixit tool again.

Nothing so far has worked. Instinct tells me that the issue lies with Offioce 2010 rather than Windows 7, but I only have the intial install, plus the change in update status when Office is included as an option to base this on.

I'd appreciate your guidance and help- please keep information and instructions simple as I'm not a computer techie.

many thanks
