Why won't Zune see Windows7 phone without update?

Zune won't see windows7 phone without update, can't update without zune

I just got a refurbished Dell Venue Pro windows 7 phone. I can't view some sites without updated Internet Explorer. I can't open or view files without downloading apps for it. I can't access the marketplace to get apps without a Windows update. And I can't do a Windows update because Zune won't see the phone... without the Windows update. I can't even access my SkyDrive to get files from.
Is there anyway to get the update without using Zune?
