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.

I have installed both the updates, but it has changed nothing.

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

Did you try this Microsoft KB? You can try all methods and skip method 2.

VitalyNagy--
Did you check in Services that Windows Update service and Remote Procedure Call service are on?
Run scans with antivirus and antimalware.

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

Thank you for the update and I was happy to help you solve the update issue.

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

Look on this page lower left for the black Close Question button and use that. If you have a problem, let us know and I will close it.
