Can't get microsoft updates through windows update in vista

Please help!

When i use the security centre in vista home premium to search for updates,
the windows update box opens and it states that i am set to receive updates
for windows only. Below this there is a link that states "get updates for
more products". However, when i click on this link internet explorer opens
directs to the microsoft update site where i get a screenshot advising that i
should click start - all programs - windows update to receive microsoft
updates and then the windows update box opens again showing exactly what it
did when i opened it through the security centre. I seem to be stuck in a
loop. I have tried clicking on start - all programs - windows update and the
same thing happens. For some reason i cannot get windows update to include
microsoft updates when it searches.



Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
