Keep running the same updates-please help!

I have a win2k sp4 machine. Every time I run windows updates it installs the
necessary patches with no error messages, as a matter of fact it says that
all updates have been installed successfully. However, when I reboot and
return to the windows update page it says the exact same updates need to be
installed. No matter how many times I try the same thing happens, why does
it not recognized that these updates are already installed?

Thanks in advance.
