Failed Upates!

Currently running Windows XP Professional 2002 Service Pack 1

I attempt to update my package to Service Pack 2 and I am unable to do so.
Every Step it takes to install the new updates shows up as "Failed!". If
anybody can explain what causes this, and perhaps a way to correct this
problem, it would be much appreciated.

Cannot install Service Pack 2
http://www.michna.com/kb/WxSP2.htm#C...Service_Pack_2

Any clues in the update log?
Click Start, and then click Run.
In the Open box, type %windir%\windowsupdate.log
and then click OK.

Scroll down towards the bottom for the latest entries to locate the error code(s) associated with
the latest failed attempt to download/install. If appropriate copy and paste the error codes into
this thread so someone may be able to assist you. On the other hand, you may be able to find the
error code and other suggestions by searching the Newsgroup.

Also check Windows folder for file called KB******.log (****** = number of update ie KB896688) and
post the contents of the failed update.
This may provide further clues as to why the update failed.

How to read the Windowsupdate.log file:

Does your update show a size? I ask because The 'critical update' that I keep
getting sent says' 0Kb and 0 download time', yet I keep getting sent this
download. I'm sorry I don't have an answer, but I can't help thinking that
it's something amiss at the Microsoft site. However I'm looking for answers
too.
