Windows Update problem

When I go to Control Panels > Windows Update > Turn Auto Updating On all I get is a green check mark. It doesn't seem to load. I don't know if it is related, but when I start my computer I keep getting a message that Automatic Updates are not turned on, yet my computer shuts down about once a week without warning to load new updates. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Reinstall Windows Update Agent 'How to obtain the latest version of the
Windows Update Agent to help manage updates on a computer'

verify also BITS service 'An update is available to fix a Background
Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS) crash on a Windows
Vista-based computer' ()
