Hello Spankyinc,
Thanks for posting on the Community Forums of Microsoft Vista.
I recommend to create a system manually, Restore Point so that in this case, a problem occurs when performing these steps, you can always perform a system restore.
Try to create a new user profile and try to install Windows update and check if the update works fine.
Create a new user
1. click on start, type Control userpasswords in the start search box, and then click Control userpasswords in the list programs.
2. click on manage another account.
If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type the password, or click on allow.
3. click on create a new account.
4. in the new account name box, type a name of single-byte characters, click Administrator, and then click on create an account.
5. click on the user account that you created in step 4.
6. click on create a password.
7. in the new password box, type a password, retype the password in the area confirm the new password, type an indication of password in the Type a password hint box, and then click on create password.
Once you have a new user accounts check if you can install updates.
Access the link below for more information on how to solve the error message when you try to install Microsoft Update on a Windows Vista-based computer: "cannot install Microsoft Update on the computer.

These errors very strongly suggest that you see the effects of a hijackware infection.
Instead you send on what could turn out to be a proverbial 'wild goose chase', I would recommend that you contact the Security Support for the MS consumer on all this.
Visit the Microsoft Solution Center and antivirus security for resources and tools to keep your PC safe and healthy.
If you have problems with the installation of the update itself, visit the Microsoft Update Support for resources and tools to keep your PC updated with the latest updates.

Get the error code 641, cannot install Windows updates.
Reluctant to do a reinstall of windows. I had the same problem, find the same useless information on a cure. I did a reinstall of windows (Vista) and partially by installing the updates of windows I ran into the same problem again, the windows installer does not. Even from scratch will get not anywhere, leaving you at least your system as it stands leaves can be used instead of a partially updated with no program system.
