completely updated?

I'm using Windows XP Media Center Edition Version 2002 with Service Pack 2.
When I check to see if I need any updates, it says everything is updated -
High Priority, Software and Hardware. However, when I click on Review your
update history, it shows there are updates that failed in previous updates.
If my Update says my system is up-to-date, then does that mean that later
updates fixed the problem when earlier updates were not installed? Or do I
have to go back and re-install all of the failed updates?

If it is not finding that you need any updates - I would assume you do not
need any updates.
You say that some updates 'failed' - did they later install properly?

I just went back and checked and they did all install later. I guess that
would have answered my question in the first place but I didn't realize to
check for each number. Thanks for your help.
