I have also had problems with updates, having lost dvd drive, this was sorted by Acer technical, and I am waiting to speak to them at the moment about present problem. Microsoft wanted £40 + vat for the privilege.

Thanks Tightscot, I've run scan now, says 98% complete, found corrupt file, wasn't able to fix.
Details in cbs.log windir\logs\cbs\cbs.log. for example
c:\windows\logs\cbs\cbs.log
Double dutch to me " Help "

Open notepad, and go to File > Open and paste in that path " c:\windows\logs\cbs\cbs.log" it will open it for you in Notepad, and will allow you to read through the file.
