MICROSOFT’S automatic update service is again in trouble after countless punters found that a corrupt automatic Vista download stuffed up their computers.
Forum and bulletin boards are full of comments from users who are incandescent with rage after getting a mysterious error code 80073712.
Users who contact the Volish help desk are finding that they are about as useful as suntan lotion to a mole who never goes on holiday.
One reader has complained to us that after using one wonderful Volish suggestion he started getting another error with the code of 800B0100.
Tapping in Google with the number 800737712 reveals shedloads of other Vista sufferers.
Over the weekend there was no word from Vole about the problem, or indeed mention of a problem at all. µ
