I would be very gratefull if someone could help me with this please, I'm not very good with computers and do not want to do something wrong with it.

Hello

S ' it works well before?

-Did you make any changes before this problem?

Method 1: I suggest you to consult the Knowledge Base article and check if it helps:
Error message when you try to install updates on the Microsoft Update or Windows Update Web site: "0 x 80073712" http://support.microsoft.com/kb/957310

Note: When you perform a repair in accordance with method 3 installation in the article, this restores the current installation of Windows Vista in the version on the installation DVD. This requires you to reinstall all updates that do not appear in this version of Windows Vista.

Method 2: I suggest scanning of auditor of system (CFS) files on your computer and see if it helps fix the problem.

    This problem can occur if the manifest of components (CBS)-based services is corrupted.

    To resolve this problem, use the following methods in the order in which they are presented.

    Method 1: Run (Checksur.exe) system update readiness tool

    1. Download and run the system update readiness tool. This tool runs an ad hoc analysis of inconsistencies that might prevent future maintenance operations.

      For more information about how to download and run the Checksur.exe tool, click on the number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

      947821 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/947821/) Description of the update readiness tool for Windows Vista system
    2. Try to install updates again.

    Note After running the tool, the Checksur.log file is stored in the following location:

    %SystemRoot%\Logs\CBS

    In a default installation of Windows Vista, %systemroot% represents the Windows directory.

    If this method does not resolve the problem, go to method 2.

    Method 2: Install Windows Vista Service Pack 1

    If you have not yet installed Windows Vista Service Pack 1 (SP1), visit the Microsoft Download Center, and then download and install Service Pack 1. To do this, follow these steps:

    1. Quit all programs, and then click on the following link:

      Note Click the option to download on the download page, clickSave, and then save the download to your desktop. When the download process is complete, clickrun to install the SP1.

    2. Restart the computer.
    3. Try to download the updates again.

    If you can't always install updates, go to method 3.

    Method 3: Make a Windows Vista repair install

    When you perform a repair installation, it restores the current installation of Windows Vista to the version on the installation DVD. This requires you to reinstall all updates that do not appear in this version of Windows Vista.

    To perform a repair of Windows Vista installation, follow these steps:

    1. Restart the computer.
    2. Insert the Windows Vista DVD into the DVD drive of the computer.

      Note If Windows does not automatically detect the DVD, click on Start, type : \setup.exe in the Search box, and then click configuration in the list programs. Then, clickinstall now.

    3. Click connect to get the latest updates for installation (recommended).
