patches for vista programmes needed

hi i am looking for vista patches for programmes such as nero, divx. does
anyone know of a site which displays all patches available???

any help appreciated.

does anyone also know where i can view all vista updates???

Hi,

Updates for programs are best obtained directly from the vendors for such.
Using a third party site to just "gather them all" can result in your
getting outdated versions, patches that have been modified and may contain
unwanted additions (like a virus), and misinformation in general. While the
idea of a conglomerate such as this is appealing, it's not all that
practical.

Windows Update in the programs menu. Useful for everything except drivers
(though it's getting better, I still recommend that you obtain these
directly from the hardware vendor or component manufacturer).
