How can I get my computer to windows update?

Windows has not been updated since October 20. I tried to update manually and received the error code 80070424: Windows Update encountered an unknown error.
I don't know what the problem is either. I looked through similar threads on this site, but did not encounter anything useful.
My computer is more than a year and it runs windows Vista. I have no install or remove all programs since September.

Young salvation and olde,
