I have a Dell Studio laptop running Win7 64-bit on an I3 core that had a HDD failure. I have installed a new HDD and reinstalled to the factory setup using the system recovery disks. All is well except that the Windows Update refuses to run. I get the

service not running message. I have tried everything I can find on this forum with no luck. Any more ideas out there? I am starting to suspect a BIOS virus.
