If it does not then solve the best suggestion for now would be to try to install the updates manually from the link below.

If you know the updates that must be installed, you can manually enter the KB update in the search bar the link to download the update manually.

If this leaves you too unhappy then made me know Service packs installed for Vista on the computer.
