Problems:
When you check for update and it show error like following image then it means that you have not installed Zune in proper way, you need to reinstall Zune

If it shows no update available and if you have purchased your phone with any contract then make sure that 7.8 is available for your device right now or not, You should contact with your cellular service provider.

If it show no update available, but 7.8 update is available in your country for your mobile then in computer open CONTROL PANEL, here you will find REGION option.

Open it, here click on Location option and select your country,

then click on ok button and check for update again.
If 7.8 is not available in your country and your phone is unlocked (here unlocked mean that you can use any GSM sim in your phone) then open Control Panel and open region, here in location tab select that country where 7.8 is available, for example you can choose India  because in India 7.8 is released. now press ok button and try for update your phone :)
