I am recieving this error for the last month, I have tried many 'fixes' I 
have found on various sites. Still it will not connect to update.

I am on a large network (The only computer with windows 7!) and we changed 
all the connection details, auto and manual and still nothing. Changed proxy 
settings, disabled them, running out of options!

My last successful update batch (20th Jan) failed on an update for HP 
Display. From then its not worked. Don't know if its anything to do with it, 
but information none the less.

If anyone has any suggestions, that would be great.

Search the internet for this error code.  There has been quite a bit of 
instances of this code.

It was ill advised to get an update via Microsoft Update for hardware not 
made by MS.

Hardware updates for non-microsoft hardware - *do not do*.  Microsoft did 
not make nor do they directly support your non-microsoft hardware.  Although 
they may have drivers there for your non-microsoft hardware, they are often 
(if not always) several versions behind.  Always go to your hardware 
manufacturer's support web pages for hardware device drivers and then - only 
when you have a specific reason to get a hardware driver update (why fix 
something you are not having an issue with or need a new feature out of?)

I would - if I were in your shoes - do the following:

Reboot and logon as administrative user.

Download, install, run, update and perform a full scan with the following
(freeware version):

SuperAntiSpyware
http://www.superantispyware.com/

Reboot and logon as administrative user.

Download, install, run, update and perform a full scan with the following
(freeware version):

MalwareBytes
http://www.malwarebytes.com/

Reboot and logon as administrative user.

Download and run the MSRT manually:
http://www.microsoft.com/security/malwareremove/default.mspx

You may find nothing, you may find only cookies, you may think it is a
waste of time - but if you do all this and report back here with what you
do/don't find as you are doing all of it - you are adding more pieces to
the puzzle and the entire picture just may become clearer and your
problem resolved.

Verify your time settings *are* accurate:
(Time Zone included.)

http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Set-the-clock

It needs to be as accurate as plausible, so also click on the link at the 
bottom area of that web page for: "Synchronizing with an Internet time 
server"

Perform a full CHKDSK:
http://www.w7forums.com/use-chkdsk-check-disk-t448.html

Defragment your system drive:
http://windows.about.com/od/maintainandfix/ss/SBSdefragWin7.htm
(May want to schedule one as well.)

If you have *any* third party firewall software (especially if part of some 
suite including AntiVirus) completely uninstall it and reboot.  Use the 
built-in Windows firewall.

If you ever had (but no longer have) any Norton products on the system - 
download and run the Norton Removal Tool.  If you ever had (but no longer 
have) any McAfee products on the system - download and run the McAfee 
Removal Tool.  Reboot after either/both of those...

Whatever AntiVirus software you have (please come back and let everyone 
know) - try disabling its active scanner the next time you try to update (no 
web surfing while you update and have your AV off, please.)

Do you have *any* encrypted folders?

What are your Automatic Update settings?

Is this 32 or 64-bit Windows 7?

I suppose you looked through this KB article:

You may encounter temporary connection-related errors when you use Windows 
Update or Microsoft Update to install updates
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/836941

By the way, as you can see, your error equates to: 
"ERROR_WINHTTP_INVALID_SERVER_RESPONSE"

You are trying to update from Microsoft - right?

If not - your IT Support (who may have you pointing to a WSUS server for 
your updates) may need to patch their WSUS server.  I have encountered many 
IT support people who did not and encountered trouble updating their Windows 
7 additions.

You mentioned this being on a "large network" - so...  I could assume it was 
in a domain and may have gotten some domain group policy settings pointing 
it to some WSUS server which - if not updated - might give you such 
errors/messages.

Whatever the case - come back - keep this conversation going for the 
benefits of the many who might find it over the next several years if not 
just yourself.
