Have you ran WGA Diagnostic Tool:

Then try WU again from a fresh IE window.

THANX CAREY FRISCH... but it DID NOT work.
Sigh... this is a real frustrator.
I DL's and ran both of your suggestions. After all that, it runs as it did
before.
Namely: update - pick updates to install (several offered) whatever one I
pick, it runs for a moment (no validator even being used - my home puter asks
and checks each time, this one seems to NOT check) then after the Download
of whatever update I pick, the screen says:
Updates were unable to be successful. The following updates were not
installed then it lists whatever I downloaded.
SO =-= Now what? Somehow it feels like it has a BAD VALIDATOR stuck in
there that won't get updated, or removed. HELPPPPP - as it's a long drive
out here and these folx think I'm crazy taking so long to fix this.
I have run every utility possible, and the BASELINE SECURITY also agrees =-=
that something is amiss with the UPDATOR utility.
I guess that old malware did some damage and I cant' get past it.
Thanx for the next supportful post here. I'll let you know as soon as it
WORKS again.
ALSO - if this is any help, I can't see ANY of the network anywhere except
in the SELECT PRINTER area. Weird, eh?
thanx,

1. Please click the link below and download this tool:
http://www.ecs-safe.com/Reset_subinacl.zip
2. Save the file to your desktop.
3. Right-click the Reset_subinacl.ZIP file and choose Extract.
4. Follow the instructions and there will be two files (reset.cmd and
subinacl.exe)
5. Double-click the reset.cmd file
6. You will see a DOS-like window processing.
(NOTE: It may take several minutes, please be patient. When it is finished,
you will be prompted that "Finished, press any key to continue")
After completing the above steps, please refer to the Windows Update website
to install the WGA tool again. If it still cannot be installed, let's move on
to the steps below to manually install it.
Step 2: Install the WGA engine manually
===========================
1. Download the ActiveX cab file from the following link and then save it to
the Desktop:
http://download.microsoft.com/download/4/f/9/4f9730c0-2061-4028-bca9-3d6e652a5cc8/LegitCheckControl.cab
Open the downloaded cab file and we will find the following two files:
LegitCheckControl.dll
LegitCheckControl.inf
2. Click "Start", click "Run", type: "%windir%\system32" (without
quotations) and press Enter. Copy the LegitCheckControl.dll files into the
opened System32 folder.
3. Click "Start", click "Run", type: "REGSVR32 LegitCheckControl.dll"
(without the quotations) and press Enter. You will see a pop-up message stating
this process succeeded.
4. Click "Start", click "Run", type: "inf" (without quotations) and press
Enter. Copy the LegitCheckControl.inf file into the opened inf folder.
5. Right-click on the copied LegitCheckControl.inf file in the inf folder,
and then choose Install. The WGA engine will be installed automatically.
After completing the above steps, please restart the computer and try to
validate Windows again.
