Are you using Internet Explorer? If not, make it your default browser then, try the update again. You can switch back to whatever browser you want as default after the updates.

Hawkeye22, I downloaded the Windows Update clients from the link you gave me but it didn't work. I found this error: Windows Update Agents encounters unrecoverable error.
What can I do now

Sorry, I don't know what to try next. I've only ever had one computer at work experience that error # and microsoft's fix worked for me.

OK hawkeye22, Thanks anyway

Try to google "Win 7 SP1 Redistributable" and see if you can get a download from Microsoft
