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?

You cannot install some updates or programs:

I had major problems with KB938371 & KB937287, I could never get them both
to install at once, I had to keep doing system restores in safe mode and
eventually got one installed but not both. Then I tried connecting directly
to my broadband without the router in line (and no Zone Alarm or antivirus
running) and it worked straight away. May of been a coincidence but they're
installed now ............ don't know why I bothered though cos there's
still no SP1 yet!

if you are unable to find pending.xml the try running Error checkin
this fixed it for me :
the chances are also if you have still been unable to fix this till no
you will have other upates that will also not instal
and without these updates you cannot install SP

solution directions

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