   I dug out an old, little-used netbook that my wife had used for a course   
   and no longer uses. I want to hook it to my wi-fi weather station to put   
   it on Weather Underground's network.   
       
   The machine hadn't been used in two years. It runs something the Windows 7   
   "Starter Edition" - which was ok last time we used it. Since it hadn't   
   been updated in two years, I clicked to check for updates.   
       
   Two and a half hours later, it's still checking. Any idea where the   
   problem lies?

   Get the Microsoft repair tool for error 8007000e.   
       
   I had the same issue and that's the fix that worked.
