Nothing there either.

If it had norton in the past it may well still be interfering (you can never really get rid of that shit)

trying running the tool from step 3 on the system....

alright do this if you have a original windows disk just re install and see if that works

If you can download google chrome and put the on a usb stick then install and try to use it and see if that works it would also help

Lol that is like a last ditch thing, I know that will work, but I am hoping it won't come to that. Also, if you read the entire thread you would see that my disk drive don't work.

Well I have internet on the computer, but only Firefox has it, I could download chrome and use it, but I am not sure if that will allow programs to update.

Another thing you could try is starting IE going to tool > internet options > advanced tab click reset then click reset and try again
