Broadly speaking, you can try one or all of these :
Run CCleaner to clear up PC Junk. Reboot. If you are using windowsupdate try using microsoftupdates and vice versa.

If you still cannot Update Windows Vista (orWinXP/SP2) using windowsupdate, try this :

Open Internet Explorer > Tools >Internet Options > Security > Click 'trusted
sites' icon >Click Sites > uncheck 'require server verification'
Then add following sites :
http://*.windowsupdate.microsoft.com
http://*.windowsupdate.com.
Click Close > Apply > OK. This is known to help the GenuineValidated Windows, in some cases, but not always.

Else, lastly, note your error code and visit this excellent Microsoft Resource : Windows Update Support: Error Codes (http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/ph/6527/). Search for the solution against your Error Code.
