Hello, My computer keeps telling me I have and important update for windows Vista but it keeps failing. The last time this particular update succeeded was December 2009. It;s bothering me this is not updating. I tried downloading it manually but that doesn't work. The download is KB970430 and the Error Found is code 80070020. Any ideas how to fix this? Thanks

I followed those directions from the Microsoft website before posting here with no success. I searched those codes and errors in Google and they pretty much bring me to the same website that does not help. Anyone else?
