Error code 80070057 when trying to update

I have the same problem Joe980 wrote about (not being able to update and getting the error code 80070057). I followed all of the steps given by Martin (support engineer) on April 2.

When I got to Step 5, the results showed "Protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them." I continued through Step 6. At Step 8 I was to see folders on my desktop named "SFCRESULTS.TXT" (I see this but without the ".TXT" and the folder is empty) and CHECKSUR.LOG (again, I see this minus the ".LOG") The following are the contents of that folder:
Checking System Update Readiness.
Version 6.0.6001.22275
2009-07-04 11:17

Checking Deployment Packages

Checking Package Manifests and catalogs.

Checking package watchlist.

Checking component watchlist.

Checking packages.

Checking component store

Checking SMI Store
Summary:
Milliseconds: 1560510
No errors detected

I also have a folder that was copied to my desktop named "CBS". The contents are extensive and, whenever I copy and paste it here, my computer freezes.

Can you help me, please?

Thank you, Jan
