Re: Windows Updates continuously failing. (0x80073712)

With regards to KB935509, KB938371, et KB937287, those updates are a prerequisite for Windows Vista Service Pack 1.
With regards to ERROR WindowsUpdate_8024402C, if you tried already, as i suppose, all Microsoft recommandations, try this trick: (i tried it on a friend's Laptop and it worked, but please don't blame me if it doesn't for you)

Go in your connection propeties (wireless or whatever)
Select Internet Protocol version 4, click Properties and down the bottom change it from "Obtain DNS server addresses automatically" to "Use the following DNS" and set the Preferred DNS to 4.2.2.2, and the Alternate to 4.2.2.3
Click OK to all the windows and try running Windows Update again.
