I have a question, and it really is _ me off.

Well, recently I bought windows Vista for my mac. I know that they have two different operating systems, but I've been using bootcamp. in any case I managed to do it download entirely on my mac. At first, it was fine and everything was moving smoothly then when I tried to do a windows update it only update the half of it. He said that he could not update all. So I never said ok, no big deal. So I went to the Microsoft website to download the rest, he left. It says update failed. Now, I started to get tired. So, I went to Terminal and entered what microsoft told me to do if I had this problem. He was checking my Vista and then tried to update it and boom once more. Then I said pretty good screw and put the cd of the OS in my mac and hit repair vista and guess what. It says "Windows cannot configure one or more system components. To install windows, restart, then restart the installation. "Well enough, I knew that I was just Fcked after that. I'm confused on why it does not work. I tried even to skip updates and tried to install programs like Adobe reader, Microsoft word, and Pinnacle studio 12. But apparently they cannot install due to not having Vista not updates. But Vista simply refuses to update. Can someone HELP me please! I MISS MY OLD XP! Not just that I know how to use bootcamp that I've used it before. This isn't the problem, the problem is Vista! I hate it! I just paid about $ 120 for this shity OS. What a mess! If someone please help thanks.
