Can't install Security Update

I have Windows XP on a two year old Dell, and I use Earthlink for dial up
access and I use ZoneAlarm for a firewall. I have consistently downloaded
and installed the recommended Windows updates, but this time, I can download
but cannot install the seven security updates for XP. I have tried multiple
times, but have not been able to get past the first update. I have tried
these downloads and installations with ZoneAlarm enable and disable, both
with no success.

Please advise if you can help!

Many, many thanks.

I just posted the Windows Update Lockup. I also am having trouble with
updates my computer browser locks up but all other downloads work fine.
