I'm new here at this site, but I looked around a little to see if I could find an answer to the problem I'm having, so I'm hoping someone here can give me some help/answers because I'm not all that computer smart. I have been trying to get my windows updates downloaded and for some reason there's always 6 or 7 that fail to get downloaded-its like the downloading part gets stuck, and I know that my laptop would run better if I could get all of my Windows updates downloaded and on my pc, the way its suppose to, so I started looking around the internet and found the web site that had the "Windows updates downloader", so I read the page and went ahead downloaded the "updater", so now I've got that done but I just could not get it my head how to get my updates that I need to download into the "update list"into the download folder(if that's correct, hect, I don't know), I did go ahead and downloaded the Vista update downloader v1.6, but I still have no idea how to go about using the Vista updater helper so I can get the rest of my updates downloaded. Can some one here offer me some help, I would so appreciate it. And can some one tell me why the updates are not downloading as they should? I swear its like something is stuck. I don't know, as I said I am not that computer smart so I'm just hoping some one here that has more knowledge than I do can help.....please.....strokelady
