failed over and over

When I use windows update, it looks normal checks my system, downloads and
installs problem is that every time I go again it just repeats the same
updates.
I have had some problems with the installer can't seem to update to 3.1.

finally I just use microsoft update but there has to be a fix? I'm getting
desperate

IF Windows Installer 3.1 is not installed properly then I highly doubt
Microsoft Update is installing updates either.

WHICH updates are repeatedly being downloaded installed from Windows
Update, please ?

Same here. Updates successfully (it says), but then the same update appears
the next day. Been going on for weeks but nothing being heard from
Microsoft!! You have to pay them, it appears, to get anywhere! AGH!!!!! I
think I will try turning off auto update. Maybe? I update regularly
(hopefully not every day).

It was KB967715 for Windows XP Media Edition. I did it again since my
previous post. It gave me a "successful", as it sometimes does. Not received
another yet. Usually I get at least one a day. Sometimes failing, sometimes
not.
