I am running Windows Vista 64 Home Premium SP2 on an Acer Aspire 6930 with 4 gb of Ram and IE version 9.0.8112.16421.  When I try to update windows, it tells me the service is not running and I may need to restart my computer.  I rebooted and got the same

result.  I checked the services and the update service and BITS show to be running as normal.  The laptop had been turned off and not connected to the internet for more than a year.  Can anyone help me with this problem?
