Some help me please

[barrie]

Hi there Im running vista home basic 32bit on a dell inspiron 1501, but i
cant download and updates at all ive tried everything i can think of, one of
my friends has said maybe the best way to sort it is to re install vista or
better yet go back to xp pro. Everytime i get the updates it says cannot
install, i get a variety of error codes aswell. Could some help as im ripping
my hair out with this. Ive looked everywhere this is my last chance.

error codes are.
