Bookeeping updates

>From reading the Microsoft Security Bulletin Summary for October, 2005,
it appears as though there are 9 patches to install,

critical: 904706, 902400, 896688

important: 899589, 905749, 907245, 900725

moderate: 905495, 905414

I did a manual update using IE and three of them did not install --
899589, 907245 and 905495. Also, when I did the manual update, two did
install that were not in the bulletin -- 890830 and 901017.

So, should I manually update the ones in the bulletin that I am
missing, or did they not install for a reason? If I go to the windows
update page and hit the express install button, it indicates there are
not updates that I need to download.

Is this normal for problems like this to occur?

Thanks
