Need help fixing registry errors

Running Vista Home Premium, 32 bit, x-86 based.

When running Windows update, 2 important updates routinely fail:

Update for Windows Vista (KB971029) - error code 80070490
Windows Internet Explorer 9 for Vista - error code 9C47
(I think the second error is happening because of the first one)

I ran the System Update Readiness Tool, and the following is the contents of the CheckSUR file:

Any suggestions on how to fix these errors would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I would start with a system file check.
Go to Start Search Box and type CMD
While holding down CTRL and SHIFT press ENTER (that will open it as Administrator)
In the box that opens type
SFC /SCANNOW and press ENTER (note the gap before/)
If errors are found restart your computer and do the scan again.
Run it up to three times.

Details of your error will be in the CBS log.

Copy and paste this into the CMD window and press Enter

notepad C:\windows\logs\cbs\cbs.log

I ran the scan three times as you suggested. Each time it said there were errors that could not be corrected. Attached is the CBS file for the last scan.

Any other suggestions?

bumping this thread... anyone else have any suggestions?
