Can't Fix Issues After Updating

I have been trying to fix the problem(s) myself for almost a month now. I'm
breaking down and finally wanting to ask for help!

HP Laptop running Vista Premium 32-bit (manufacturer install). Nvidia
graphics card.

I have updated my computer with all the recommended windows updates and most
of the HP ones (the audio update permadently mutes the system and graphics
card updates say they aren't needed).

-After one Windows update, my zune player stopped being recognized. I
followed all the instructions to fix this, and it never worked again on this
computer.

-SimCity Societies will not load. It says Runtime has asked the program to
close. I've tried every recommended update, only to be told they "do not
apply to me".

Other issues have come up, but all are similar to those primary problems.
Any update I install says it "isn't needed" or causes more issues.

Thanks.
