unable to update my computer

for a while now i have been trying to install updates using windows update,
everytime it tries to download the security updates, it tells me it failed, i
have windows XP Home Edition SP2 currently running

How to view the Update log in Windows


Open Internet Explorer and either type or copy and then paste this into the Address
bar:
%windir%\windowsupdate.log


Scroll down towards the bottom for the latest entries to locate the error code(s)
associated with the latest failed attempt to download.

Are there any error codes? Copy and paste the part of the log which contains the
error codes of the failed updates and paste into this thread and someone may be able
to assist you.
