Updates Unsuccessful

Since about June after installing SP2, I dont seem to be able to install the
majority of updates downloaded. The error message displayed says.update
unsuccessful'

On checking my update history there are now the best part of 50 updates
FAILED.

Please help me to resolve /troubleshoot

We'll start with a few basic things:-
Windows Update Checklist

Are there any specific errors in the log for the failed updates?
Click Start, and then click Run.
In the Open box, type %windir%\windowsupdate.log
and then click OK.

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

How to read the Windowsupdate.log file:

If necessary, copy and paste the error codes into this thread (or the error numbers)
to give the folks here some more information to work on.
