Help with error code 80073712 with windows update...

I have problems with fixing error code: code 80073712 in my windows update program... I tried to do the checksur.exe... and after having told me he found 10 errors... He only corrected a mistake and said its missing files to correct the other 9 errors it finds... I have over 3000 photos on the computer more than a ton of documents that was for my personal use and then my church congregation as well. The music I like to keep it on the hard drive and really don't want to lose to re - install windows to fix backup... would only store my documents and photos... as I tried to record my songs on a DVD that says that he accepts the mp3 files, but it didn't work... so I lost 3 DVDs, it took to keep the music... Are there other ways to solve this problem without having to save and not lose the files... I really need to keep most of them away to printing purposes and everyday... Thanks a lot for all the help that can be given.

I already tried the methods of fixing this error code 2... None of them helped or solved the problem... y at - it something else I can do...

I was not able to install updates since November 13, 2009... updates how am I missing that will affect the security of my operating system and is updated just a better option...

You are missing a lot of critical security updates (especially if the updates published on 10 Nov 09 never installed).

You don't want to switch to Win7 with the computer in its current state (nor would you be able to do, I think).

Vista SP1 or SP2 installed?

What application or antivirus security suite is installed and your current subscription?  What anti-spyware (other than Defender) applications?  What third-party firewall (if applicable)?

A (another) Norton or McAfee application has already been installed on this machine (for example, a free trial version which is preinstalled when you bought it)?

    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

      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

    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).
    4. Insert the product key if you are prompted to do so.
    5. Click to accept the Microsoft software license agreement.

    Your operating system is corrupted. To eliminate the problems on your computer, you need to restore factory settings and rebuild your computer system.

    A recovery of the system partition contains a copy of the operating system as it was when the computer was purchased new. Using the copy of Vista, you can restore the computer to factory settings. Of course you must back up your data files to an external before restoring support as the process reformats the disk thus clearing all existing files before writing new files.

    Please read Chapter 13 (page 33) Manual:
    5738 http://global-download.Acer.com/GDFiles/document/generic%20UG/generic%20UG_Acer_1.0_A_A.zip?acerid=633967123940952836&STEP1=notebook&Step2=aspire&step3=aspire & OS = ALL & LC = en & BC = ACER & SC = EMEA_27

    The manual suggests that you have an option to restore the operating system and retain user data that I've not seen in a manual before. It is worth trying because it reduces the work involved but I would again as a precaution, back up your data files on external safety precaution if things go wrong.
