Have you ran the windows update troubleshooter? Tried running sfc /scannow at the command prompt?
Here is the troubleshooter program.

I'm currently running 'sfc /scannow'. I ran the program from the link you gave. I ran the update troubleshooter from Microsoft's web site, tried to install updates, and now I have a new error code: 8024001B.
Edit: now I'm back to getting error code 800700C1
Edit: Hotfix for Windows (KB947821) would not install.

Both failed.
Try downloading windows repair and running it.

Open the program, click on start repair tab, click on start. You'll get a popup about backing up registry and creating a restore point. Up to you if you do. The only box you want checked is number 16 "repair windows updates" then click on start. The process may take a minute or two. Reboot when done and try installing updates again. If it doesn't work, would just suggest reinstalling windows or do a system restore back to a day it was working correctly.

When I re-install Windows, should I create a Windows.old folder? There's obviously something wrong now, and I don't won't to leave that on the HDD, but it sure would be more convenient so that I don't have to re-install so many programs. I actually have a Windows.old folder now, because I re-installed once before.

This failed. So I'll repost my question:

I'm able to run programs out of my current windows.old folder, so I thought I wouldn't have to re-install those.
Not sure how you are able to do that, unless its a stand alone program which doesn't require system file entries and registry entries to work correctly. What you should do is transfer any needed files out of there into your regular personal folder and then delete windows.old folder so you can gain that space back. Any active programs like virus software will need to be reinstalled anyway.
