Will this ruin my computer? I m a bit of a freak when it comes to this

The error you're getting is the result of the so-called "low registry space" error.
Are you familiar with the registry ? If so you might try the following :

Open the registry editor, surf to :

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control
Look for the key : RegistrySizeLimit ,it's probably not there.

So right click and choose "new REG_DW0RD", name it RegistrySizeLimit and give it the value 0xffffff and reboot your machine

Now comes the tricky part : go to start, in the search box type "cmd" , command prompt appears at the top of the search window. Right-click and choose "run as administrator" .Verify that the command prompt says c:\windows\system32>

At the command prompt type "sfc /scannow" and everything should be fine again.

What do you mean "At the command prompt type "sfc /scannow" ? where do I put it? oh and when I do this do I try the update again?

I'm sorry, if you're not familiar with registry editing and the command prompt it's probably best not to tinker with it yourself. Maybe you can try and seek assistance locally. It's not that difficult to do , only a lot harder to explain. In the end there's nothing wrong with your MCP, it's a windows bug.

It is wise not to edit the registry, unless you are very computer literate
Just one thing puzzles me, is it not strange that it is happening on his other computers? Are they all Windows 7 based?

[Henju]

Yes the other is win 7 Based

Is there anything I can tell these guys at the computer shop? I already went there today to get it looked at but they said it wont work, I didn't believe him and thought you guys could help cause I really want it to work. Is there any software that will automatically fix the problem?

Clutching at straws now, but have you tried a different USB cable and ALL of the PC USB ports?

Why not ask a friend who has an XP or vista machine if you can try the MCP on it?
