Have you tried right clicking the windows update icon and then clicking run as administrator, if you can't find it try clicking start, then all programmes and it might be near the top of the list, in the listed progs before the ones in folders (if you get what i mean)
Hope this helps

yeh vista has a admin setting which is the master account even if other users have admin privilege
so most people i know use the Admin account as there user 1
best advice is Dont use vista lol
it will drive u
