Cannot update from Windows

I have Windows ME I cannot update any critical programs, when I hit install
buttons, I wait but nothing there is a box telling to wait for download but it never comes so I press cancel and rpcrt4.dll comes up.
also, I come up with a blank screen after clipping on some place to go
for example I am in my mail room and maybe I click on like, win a vacation or
come win a new car, I clip and a blank screen comes up and also I may clip
on a url and blank screen comes up. I take that some url and put in my brower
address bar and it works

 

if you know the numbers of the updates you need you can download the updates manually

 

You may also need to update your windows installer.
