SOME updates will not install

I have my computer to let me know when there are Microsoft and Windows
updates so I can select what to install. I have Windows XP, SP2. I never
installed SP3 for some reason; I think it interfered with one of my sewing
software programs.

Well not several updates will not install. Some do and some don't and I
don't know what to do about it.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks

Some details are useful; specific updates by KB###### for example?
