WINDOWS UPDATE WONT WORK

[metalguru04]

Two Dell's, a desktop and a laptop, both running win 7 wont install windows updates. A window comes up at the end of the process says; reverting back, or something to that effect. The laptop will not load ie 8 or 9, so no ie at all on that machine. They both still work but are short around 60 or so important updates. Virus and malware protection works on both.
