Please post the log contents - where the updates failed to install. What we're looking for
is specific error codes.
or if it's easier -
On the WU Website, select your history of updates - now click on failed update (red mark)
and see if there is an error code.
If there is an error code, write it down and post back or in the alternative, do a search
for the error code.
