please open terminal by pressing CTRL+ATL+T and run the following command

uname -a && lsb_release -a && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

this should install your updates, if it doesnt, please post the output here.

you are using Ubuntu 8.04 which is unsupported and obsolete.
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes

i would recommend reviewing
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades/Hardy

after you have read the links posted above, to process the upgrade in terminal you need to run

sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude safe-upgrade

and then run
sudo do-release-upgrade

Can you help with this problem?
