Start button --> All Programs --> Accessories

Locate the Command Prompt icon.
Right-click the icon for command prompt and choose "run as administrator"...

Should be self-explanatory from there.

That's one of the things with Vista/7 - even as an administrator - you
aren't really full administrator. ;-)

I didn't see this in your second post until now:

> firewall (Comodo)

The Comodo firewall is the cause of the 0x80070002 error.
It has or is blocking content and/or preventing a CoCreate process from
running.

0x80070002 ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND
The authentication method is not supported. -
CoCreateInstance(IBackgroundCopyManager) fails with E_ACCESSDENIED
(0x80070005) in this condition

You can either uninstall Comodo, or completely disable it and all of
it's associated processes and enable the native Vista firewall, OR,
Clean boot Vista, and then rerun CheckSUR once more.

To clean boot Vista, see Step 1 here:

Vista or in Windows 7

BTW, did you check the logs that CheckSUR created after it's run ?

I've tried using the resetting method for windows update but there are
various files when punched into the command window, it says either there's an
error or there's no such directory. As though i'm missing some of the files.

I checked the logs and it says there aren't any problems. Check it with the
firewall on and off.

From: MowGreen on
Did you clean boot Vista ? If not, there are processes and services
associated with Comodo that are running which will cause the 0x80070002
error.

Was the edition of CheckSUR that you downloaded just released on Sept.
22nd and for Vista x64 ?

From past experience dealing with Comodo and Windows updating issues, I
strongly suggest you get dump it. The native Vista firewall affords the
same protection without the updating issues.
That's your choice to make, not mine.
