I'm running on an M1330 1.8ghz duo centrino

I switched to Linux completely less than a month ago because windows vista kept having a fatal error after using windows update. And wouldn't boot I had to reinstall. So I made the switch and I haven't looked back. I don't even miss Maplestory that much anymore.

If that error was for service pack 1 and it kept repeatedly rebooting to "installing" or "configuring updates" 0%, you can fix that by booting to Barts PE or a linux boot cd and delete these 2 files/folders:
C:\Windows\winsxs\pending.xml
and
C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution
