Hi, I have been having some computer problems lately, mostly with being unable to play a game I had recently purchased. I thought the problem was many things before figuring out that my computer has not updated itself in over a year+
So I go and try to update it from security panel, and it will not do it automatically. I can see the list of available updates, and the service pack 2 and recent others have all failed. I then went to microsoft site and downloaded the service pack 2 manually and when i installed it, instantly said not successfuly installed. I ran a check on my computer and it fixed some files and some were corrupted it said. I have done some research and found that I need a vista dvd or cd to start up and repair this issue ( i think ). Now my computer came with 1 cd when i bought it because vista was preinstalled on my computer, and I have long since lost that cd.
I begin to browse on internet for topics : how to fix vista without your computers startup disc, and got some results. i guess microsoft released a .iso file that you can burn to a disc and use as a recovery tool. I tried this and the cd i have burnt it too does not load when i start up my computer, just goes right to my desktop like vista normally would. Did i burn this cd wrong, or is this not even possible to do? Any help would be appreciated, my computer runs fine and I can browse the internet, but I cannot download any updates or play this one game due to some updates needed to be installed but something is not allowing me to install the updates.
I will attach some screenshots of what happens when I try to install the updates.
Thanks,
Joe

More info please:
Were you using any Virus, Malware etc software?

Have you tried fixing damaged files see:

Go to C:\Windows and locate WindowsUpdate.log and see if there is more detail about the Update failures.
