When we install an operating system or a software program, we would like it to be updated so that errors can be avoided. If you have Windows Vista installed on your computer, you could avail Windows Update, which is a free service that helps to keep the operating system updated. The updates of Vista will be downloaded automatically onto your computer, and after checking the updates, you may get them installed. If you have a look at the updates you would find that some are highlighted as Important, which means they are assigned higher priority for installation. Sometimes Vista does not update, and to solve this you need to troubleshoot the Windows Update operation. You can also seek assistance by contacting Microsoft chat support.
