Nothing I do seems to help

Hi, I found tweaking on google search last year and have ran it a number of times as recent as today. I read how others are fixed and keep hoping mine will be but nothing seems to help. I cannot get windows to  update anything except MSE, and havent for over a year. Always says to restart, then I do, then it says last update never, I click on check for updates and then Im back to it saying restart.  One big loop, insanity! I have Windows Vista home premium service pack 2. 32bit.
Have ran superspyware, malewarebytes, Microsoft security essentials, Webroot secure anywhere,seems like its all clean, just nothing works to start updating.

Shane:
Try this, open a cmd.exe as administrator, once it is open run
Compcln.exe

And have it do its work then reboot. Once backup run the system readiness tool

Once it is done reboot one more time and then try the Windows updates :wink:

Sorry, not that easy. Did the cmd promp, I guess it ran, it asked if I wanted to and I said yes. Then left it for 8 hours or so. Restarted, tried the link you gave. Downloaded but would not run error 0x80070422.
Did all this twice. Not working, also tried the windows update after all this now I get"windows update cannot check for updates, because the service is not running. You may need to restart your computer."
Have another idea?

Shane:
Go to services and see if the BITS service is there and running.

fireguy4k:
it says the bits service is stopped.
