Windows update will not install

I am trying to install Vista update KB929735 but it fails every time with
error code 80073712. Can anyone help? I have tried to run reg delete
HKLM\COMPONENTS /v StoreDirty but this just throws up an error. Can anyone
help?

I have been told to try http://support.microsoft.com/kb/931712
But this does not work. I am losing my patience with Windows Vista, and the
replies I get on here makes me think that Microsoft doesn't know the answer.

This just goes to show that Windows Vista is CRAP.

Uh-huh. It'll probably end up being a PBUAK problem, I think...

Okay, I've looked up the acronym PBUAK and I've found that it means "****ing
Bear Under A Kamala."

Beyond this, I have no idea why (or whether) it's humorous -- unless it's
similar to a user's looking for the AnyKey button to press in order to
continue.

Would someone explain if I'm missing something really funny? :>

Thanks.

Hi PA Bear,

I guess it was the lack of the letter "E" in the original acronym that you
posted, which threw me off.

I had Googled on PBUAK rather than PEBUAK, and "****ing Bear Under A Kamala"
is what's listed for PBUAK. (And I still have no idea what THAT expression
means.)

Hello Taurarian,

I've already responded to PA Bear about why I came up with "****ing Bear
Under A Kamala" for PBUAK. I found a few links by Googling that acronym and
here is one:
http://www.mombu.com/microsoft/windo...e2-473193.html

Still, whatever "****ing Bear Under A Kamala" means, I sure don't have any
idea.
