Hello,
I tried the download and even tried windows update, but neither worked. There is about 100 Gb of free space and about 100 Gb used space.

you have extremely little RAM
i would install more ram - 2 GB would be nice, 4 GB better - if the pc accepts it
here is the documentation on the ram : http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=bph03886&cc=us&dlc=en&lang=en&lc=en&product=1118241#N135

Not only do you have very little RAM -- it is WELL BELOW the system requirements for Vista Home Premium. Microsoft's stated minimums for Vista are 512MB for Vista Home Basic; 1GB for all other versions of Vista.
The first thing you need to do is upgrade your memory to at least 1GB -- and preferably more.
Your PC uses DDR RAM and can accept modules up to 1GB in size. It will accept up to 4 modules. I'd buy at least one of these (which would bump you up to 1.5GB total):

Do this BEFORE worrying about the failures you're seeing with Photo Gallery ... it's VERY likely these are memory-related.
