Windows 7 Update Does Not Work

For some reason, I cannot make Windows Update work in my Windows 7 Professional. No matter what option I choose (Install Automatically, etc.), when I try to check for updates manually, I still get the same error messages (attached). How can I resolve this?

Thanks.

In fact, the version of the updater on my computer is higher than the indicated as highest in KB 949104.

I started with Experts Exchange in 2004 and it's been a mainstay of my professional computing life since. It helped me launch a career as a programmer / Oracle data analyst

The second recommendation by John Hurst following the first one actually worked out, surprisingly :). Thank you very much.

How can a question be closed? I think, the interface was different when I used it last time.
