I didn’t have any problems updating so far, but for some reason when windows update came up with those 2, it couldn't install them. Didn’t manage to find a solution for this on either google or MS's website and all. Tried to download and install the individual packages but no luck. I'm more than 100% I didn't change anything on the OS itself. Any ideas?

The updates are:
- Security Update for Windows Vista x64-based Systems (KB971557)
- Update for Windows Mail Junk E-mail Filter for x64-based Systems [August 2009] (KB905866)

When they get downloaded at about 15% I get this error:
Some updates were not installed.
Error found: Code 80073712 Windows Update encountered and unknown error.

:confused:
 
Try going into C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download and deleting everything in that folder, rebooting and checking for updates again.
 
Meh, that didn't work but thanks anyway, I'll let it be for now and see if other updates are getting installed in the future.
