Media Center updates fail

I have a system with media center 2005 w/roll up 2 on it, 2.7GHz & 512MB it
was working ok. Then it stoped doing auto updates. I went to windows update
site it shows that there are 92 High Priority, 11 Software & 4 Hardware
updates ready for install. But when I tell it to up date it starts to
download then all the updates fail to update. There is no error code. Does
anyone have any ideas.

Updates are not installed successfully from Windows Update,
from Microsoft Update, or by using Automatic Updates after
you repair a Windows XP installation
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/943144
(Try it even if you did a clean, not repair, installation.)
(Try it even if you performed some sort of restore - not repair install.)

The issue can occur if the updates KB904706 or KB912812, which are related to
the update KB900325, have not been installed correctly. In order to confirm
this point and resolve the issue, let's first refer to the following steps to
remove the updates KB904706 and KB912812, and then install the update
KB900325. If the update KB900325 can be installed successfully, then we can
reinstall the updates KB904706 and KB912812.
