Problems with Updating in Vista

I have been having trouble with Vista updates for over a week now. I first
had trouble installing 2 updates but for some reason one of the finally
installed out of the blue but the second one still won't install and I get

Error code: 80073712

Any suggestions on this?

Re: Problems with Updating in Vista

if you are unable to find pending.xml the try running Error checking this fixed it for me
the chances are also if you have still been unable to fix this till now you will have other upates that will also not install
and without these updates you cannot install SP1

solution directions:

start - computer - right click C:/ - properties - tools - Error checking - check now - reboot - wait for vista to boot fully (no HDD activitie) - start - control pannel - windows update - check for updates (dont skip this part) - reboot - install SP1 - enjoy
