If it does not then solve the best suggestion for now would be to try to install the updates manually from the link below.
http://support.Microsoft.com/default.aspx/GP/downloadover/en-AU#TAB0
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.

A 2007 Microsoft Office System security vulnerability could allow arbitrary code to run when opening a file modified for malicious purposes. This update resolves the vulnerability so that the 2007 Microsoft Office System documents are managed appropriately.

Update type: Important
This update resolves a problem that can cause programs that use Outlook view with Forms 2.0 control, such as Microsoft Office Outlook with Business Contact Manager, stop functioning as expected after installation of update of security for Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 (KB972363).
More information:
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/974234Help and Support:
http://support.Microsoft.com/?ln=en-usOK... I had the same problem with the download of the 2007 Microsoft security updates. When I tried to install updates, I receive error 646. I finally solved my problem by going to the Download Center on Microsoft and I install manually.
Here are the steps that I took... which I think should work:
(1) go to the Microsoft Download Center: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/default.aspx
(2) look for each update code that begins with the letters "KB" and followed by a set of numbers (i.e. KB974234)
3) click on the link for the download and then click on download and run. I think you have to accept an agreement, then click on continue or OK
4) repeat for all downloads that you can not install
(5) run Microsoft Update new and click search the updates and if updates have been installed successfully, they should no longer appear in the updates that must be installed.I don't know if it is not relevant or if it helped me succeed to install updates manually, but before I manually installed my updates I followed the instructions David_O posted here http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vistawu/thread/f3390e74-9961-4aae-8a05-554c1a9cf1a2 . I suggest that first of all try to download manually by following my directions. If it does not, then it's a possibility instructions of David resolved an issue that allowed me to download them manually disable Microsoft downloads site.
I can't believe all the research and the suggestions of the technicians did not work... sometimes your own research is the best!
I hope this helps! Good luck!
