Vista update installer, will not download and install

Hi there

the windows vista update icon says the update installer needs to be updated before updates can continue . when i click the download button its says downloading and installing.

After about 15 seconds it says the update installer needs to be updated... and just keeps going round in circles.

Many thanks for any help :)

    I had this problem yesterday when updating some stuff on DD's laptop.
    As i don't use Vista just tried logical steps: updated and ran all the usual protection as outlined at the beginning of this Techie Forum.
    Then kept trying and eventually left it to 'play' and watched telly, when I next looked all done and updated!!!:cool:
    Magic. Seriously, persevere!
    Good luck.
