| Vista Ultimate x64 | Problem Updating Error Code 80073712 Ok so I use to be able to download and install some updates, but few would actually install. But now Windows Update can't even search for updates to install. I have tried manual installations from the Windows update site and that doesn't work either. This is very frustrating to me because I can never install important updates on this computer, even when I freshly reinstall Windows, and I have done so sevreal times. |
