I have a computer i was given running windows vista, ran some virus scans and removed most of the viruses, but when i go to do windows updates on it. It fails all the updates and gives me a error: Code 800F0900

How can i get updates to work again

Found a 32bit version of it, and downloaded it. ran it and it said it needed to install a hot fix. when i clicked ok to install the hot fix it said cannot be installed. then closed the prompt.
