[gui-talk] A Windows Update issue

I'm using Windows 7 Home Premium on a 64 bit computer.  While trying to 
install a Windows Critical Update, I got the following:  Error Code 
800B0100.  I tried to run an automatic trouble shooter, which was supposed 
to correct any problems with Windows Updates.  It did not work.  So, I 
installed a hot fix which is supposed to correct this problem, but I'm still 
getting the same error.

Someone, on another list, suggested uninstalling Microsoft.net Framework 4 
from Programs and Features, restart the computer a couple times and then 
redownload the .net framework 4 and then try to install the Windows critical 
update.

I don't know the purpose of this Microsoft.net Framework 4, and someone 
suggested that some screen readers use it.  So, before I go ahead and try 
this to fix the Windows Update problem, I want to find out if I'm going to 
lose speech from JAWS after this is uninstalled.  Also, to redownload, would 
I look in the Microsoft download center?

All this makes me quite nervous.  I just bought the computer in January and 
don't want to do anything to mess it up.  It looks like the Windows Updates 
have not installed since June.

Thanks for any help.

and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways submit to him,
and he will make your paths straight.
