How to retrive updates failed in the installation

Hi all,

I checked the Windows Update history and noticed that the first 15 updates
has
a failed status in the installation when the remaining 15 succeeded. How can
I
retrieve these updates installation that has failed? Tried several times
"Search for update" but completed with no new updates.

I migrated to IE 6.0-SP1 from IE 5.5 three weeks ago due to a requirement of
MSN Messenger 7.0.
Upon finished IE 6.0 installation, Windows Update initialized and searched
for security patches and updates. Found and downloaded tons of patches (~30
in ~40 Mbytes). Since then has not able to open a couple pages, one is a
https:. A message "Microsoft Internet Explorer has encountered a problem and
needs to close..." pops-up. I'm running Win98, had no problem before update.
The same pages open in another computer running WinXP and IE 6.0 SP2 though.

Any insight is very appreciated.

Thank you!

David
