Thanks leofelix there were 3 updates for Windows 7.
I have now downloaded them.
Only small ones but needed a reboot to install them properly.

USB video devices? My USB powered hub has a video port, but I would never think of using it.
Can you think of a scenario where a usb video connection was used rather than a video card?

When you're using a Lilliput Mini USB Monitor or a Mimo Mini USB Monitor.

ThinkGeek is a wonderful... EXPENSIVE... place.

I am getting "WindowsUpdate_80070643" error during updates installation (automatic/manual update). I have already searched for its solutions. I have already repaired Windows Update via Microsoft Fixit (50202). I also tried repairing Windows Update manually. I am tired of it. Previously, it happened on last Patch Tuesday. I restore from backup and installed updates without any further issue. This time none of the method is working. My teachers and friends computers (I install and configure OS for them) are working fine with all updates. Due to such annoyance I am also considering downgrading to Windows 7 Ultimate x86 from x64
