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.

You cannot install updates that you download from the Windows Update Web site on a Windows
XP-based computer
