takes a while as i have to download the whole program plus the update
wont work cuz as soon as i open software update, it checks for updates, then says none avaliable and exits out so i cant access the menu
You don't need to download the whole program.You can run the program and then click on the name of it on the menu bar and click on "check up for updates" or something similar. Some apps have this option in the "help" section.
Are you sure you haven't moved your apps from the Application folder or generally haven't moved them at all?
Sure there isn't anything blocking Software Update? I had a few problems with Norton, although Norton caused a whole load of other problems too.

whenever i choose check for updates, it opens software update and still cant update
If you're on Windows XP or Vista, it's called Windows Firewall, and it can be found in Security Center.
In Windows Firewall, I allowed Software Update through Windows Firewall but it still wont detect any updates avaliable
do you have your programs in more than one hard drive?i'm on a mac,and i have two hard drives,my applications are spreaded on both of em,and since i moved some on the drive that doesn't have the OS files the software update won't find any available updates for my mac..
on the HD you have your OS on?
has it ever worked for you?..the software update thing..
you can still disinstall SU and re install it later,after a reboot or something, or I guess the manual updating of Safari for instance is your best solution for now..

yes it is on the same HD as Vista, it used to work but stopped working recently
how would you reinstall it as you cant individually download SU through Apple's website?
try this to uninstall SU http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/windows/en-us/help/be5d0190-7bdc-412e-b342-04471a2f56ca1033.mspx
and later try downloading the latest safari from apple's website or itunes,because I think they automatically download SU as well
don't do it if it all sounds dangerous

uninstall an application like quicktime, something you dont have media in, like itunes. remove the app, reboot, and download the file again, which should also install software update. if not, remove software update if possible. once you install the application again, try the newly installed software update. vista might have screwed software update.
I had the same problem on my mac book pro just now, Go to the apple os -> your home folder -> library -> caches -> the software update folder (com.apple.SoftwareUpdate) i think, -> drag the whole folder to the desktop -> reboot -> drag it back to its original spot -> It worked.
I assume youre running bootcamp with vista?
