Vista - Windows Update doesn't!

Vista: all updates download and all updates fail installation and configuration. Ran Fix It, checked firewalls, nothing works. 

In the last week I have spent close to 20 hours on this, downloaded many gigs of data, hundreds of updates which have all failed.

 

Each update failure has a different error code, so it's all but impossible to invest who knows how many hours researching each individual failure.

 

This is my sister's laptop that I "volunteered" to help with, and as far as I can tell there has been only a few updates that actually installed successfully since she bought it just about 3 years ago.

 

How do I repair Windows Update for her?

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

 

Thanks,

Dave
