HELP!! I lost my Ultimate Extra's after repair....

Hi,

I upgraded my system from MCE to Ultimate 64bit and all was fine till I
tried reinstallig a game GT Ledgends (GTL) which uses a copy protection that
is not vista freindly. Consiquently, I needed run repair to get the system up
again. Unfortunately, the restore broght me back to a point before I
installed the Ultimate Extras and now I can't get them back.

Any help would be apppreciated.

Thanks

Rename the SoftwareDistribution folder. (Because of possible folder
corruption or other errors.)
Click Start, Choose Run.
In the Run box, type services.msc.
Click OK.
Right-click the Automatic Updates service.
Click Stop.
Stopping the service will take a moment.

Rename the "SoftwareDistribution" folder:
a. Click Start, click Run, type %systemroot%, and then click OK.
b. Right-click the SoftwareDistribution folder, and then click Rename.
c. Type SoftwareDistribution.old, and then press ENTER to rename this
folder.
Create a new folder called "SoftwareDistribution"
Click Start. Choose Run.
In the Run box, type services.msc.
Click OK.
Right-click the Automatic Updates service.
Click Start.
Starting the service will take a moment.
Rerun Windows Update.
