Cancelled updates won't now install. Ideas?

I had a whole heap of updates, some were considered "important"and they got
cancelled for one reason or another mid process - more than likely, I forgot
and shut down the computer.

Now, I can see them on the list of updates...showing as unsuccessful but
yet, I can't seem to find a way of installing them and when I check on the MS
website for updates I'm needing/scan my system etc, it's coming back that I'm
up-to-date.

Any ideas?

Check to see if you have the module version that the update implies?
Use MBSA if you want a second opinion for WU.

Always state your full Windows version (e.g., WinXP SP3; Vista 64-bit SP2;
Win7 RC; Win7) when posting in a forum or newsgroup. Please do so in your
next reply.
