For the past month, I have been UNable to access Windows
Update. "I get, "Windows update has encountered an error
and cannot display the requested page."

I followed directions and edited the registry Changing
the "CSDVersion" from "100" to "0", then restarted the
computer, and when I tried to go to "Windows Update" I
got the same message.

Also displayed was error 0x8007007F

Please reply by email if you have any ideas beyond
selling my 'puter and buying "Apple"

Try using Opera! Free, very fast, lots of options and no
worries about windows updates... opera.com
 
Don't know about this "followed directions and edited the
registry" or where you might have gotten those
instructions, but assuming you have not rendered my
suggestion useless with your registry editing, try this:
Quite possibly anti-virus or firewall applications are
getting in the way of your being able to update. In that
case, if you enter the Windows Update site and then
disable both such applications and click "refresh", you
very well might be able to get your computer scanned for
updates. Remember to enable your anti-virus and firewall
protection before you get back out there "on the wild
Internet".
