What was the edition of Windows that was previously installed, if any ?

What is the installed antivirus/security suite; is a 3rd party firewall
being used ?

80072EE is an incomplete error code as they ALL contain 8 characters.
Was the error 80072EE2, 80072EE7, or 80072EEF ?

Windows 7 does not connect with 'windowsup page', instead, it connects
with the update servers.
Please click the Start orb > in the 'Search programs and files' field
type in windowsupdate.log
Under *Programs* click on windowsupdate.log
When the log opens scroll all the way to the bottom for the most current
entries.
Please copy and paste at least the last 50 or so lines of the log into
your reply.
