Vista Home Premium - Update Issues

I can't update SP1, (or any other updates)...

I have downloaded and tried to apply the "Update Readiness" tool...

Though, this requires that "windows update service" be enabled.

BUT, when I enable the update service:

I get a command prompt box and an error box that pops up every 10 seconds or so. The error says:

"C:\Windows\system32\wuauclt.exe The NTVDM CPU has encountered an illegal instruction." Once I close it, it pops up again shortly there after.

And the "Update Readiness" tool reports:

"Some updates were not installed
Hotfix for Windows KB947821"

I've searched and searched, but I cannot find a solution... I would be so grateful for any help, regarding this issue...

Cheers ~Niki

PS, I'm here ready to post a HJT log, and or other system info. I've ran programs to find malware, viruses, rootkits, etc... (SBD, and Malawarebytes, Panda online, etc... But everything comes back as clean...=( Below, I've included my system info and some of the error messages from the event logs....

Welcome to Geeks To Go!

It's probably a good idea to have your HJT log analysed first, but please don't post it on this forum as we are not allowed to help with possible malware infections here.

Please post it here:
