Check the programs that vista says it can not update. They may be incompatible with Vista. You can find this out by running the Windows Vista upgrade advisor available for free at microsoft.com. If you really want Vista & can do without the offending programs you can uninstall them & then run the upgrade. Hope this helps & please remember to rate my answer. Thanks.

Go to the Start menu and select Control Panel
In the search box, type in "update."
Click on the link to turn automatic updating on or off.
Select from the available options including the time you'd like updates to be downloaded and whether you'd like to be notified and asked before downloaded updates are installed.
1. Go to Start button > All Programs > Windows Update.
2. In the left pane, click Change settings.
3. Select Install updates automatically.
4. Under Recommended updates, select the Include recommended updates when downloading, installing, or notifying me about updates check box, and then click OK.
5. Make sure you click Check for updates to make sure your computer has the latest updates installed. You might need to shut down and restart you machine after the updates are applied.

You should reinstall Windows vista. But my advice is to update to Windows 7.

if you want to install your updates then first try to check whether the update settings are set to automatic updates or not.
if not then go to control panel > windows update and set auto matic updates. if it is already done then
try MSCONFIG

ie. start > run > type 'msconfig'
go to 'services' and check whether the windows update service is checked or not if not, check the box
click ok
then restart your pc..
