Windows update failing repeatedly

For a few years now, windows has automatically installed updates in the
process of shutting down. Each time it shuts down it installs the same ones,
and new ones which accumulates. I'm assuming its installing them over and
over again because they fail to install. I tried doing the automatic update
downloader//installer and it said:

"the following updates were not installed:
Security Update for Windows XP (KB920683)
Security Update for Windows XP (KB913580)
Security Update for Windows XP (KB908531)
Security Update for Windows XP (KB920213)
Security Update for Windows XP (KB926255)
Update for Windows XP (KB922582)
Security Update for Windows XP (KB932168)
Security Update for Windows XP (KB914388)
Security Update for Windows XP (KB902400)
Security Update for Windows XP (KB925902)
Update for Windows XP (KB910437)
Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer 6 for Windows XP (KB933566)
Update for Windows XP (KB927891)
Security Update for Windows XP (KB924496)
Security Update for Windows XP (KB924270)
Security Update for Windows XP (KB911562)
Security Update for Windows XP (KB928255)
Security Update for Windows XP (KB922819)
Security Update for Windows XP (KB924191)
Security Update for Windows XP (KB927779)"

Obviously something is FUBAR, but I'm not sure if theres a quick fix.
Thanks for any help.

Run a manual update, then review the installation history.
An Icon next to a failed update will link to an explanation & cure

I'm not about to manually install 72 updates! This is ridiculous! Is there a
fix for this? One fix that will take care of the rest?

First check your event logs to make sure nothing fishy is going on
with your system...
If nothing in the event log looks out of the ordinary, then move on to
clearing the updates out and redownloading them...

Right click My Computer and select Manage, expand Services and
Applications and select Services, scroll down to Automatic Updates and
stop the service.

Then browse to C:\windows and delete the SoftwareDistribution folder,
then restart the Automatic Updates service.

Then try and reinstall the updates....

This has worked for me several times & for several others.
1. Click on Start and Run,
2. Type "REGSVR32 WUAPI.DLL" (without quotation marks) and press
Enter.
3. Should get the message "DllRegisterServer in WUAPI.DLL succeeded"
Click OK.
4. Repeat above for each of the following:

REGSVR32 WUAUENG1.DLL
REGSVR32 ATL.DLL
REGSVR32 WUPS2.DLL
REGSVR32 WUCLTUI.DLL
REGSVR32 WUPS.DLL
REGSVR32 WUWEB.DLL
REGSVR32 WUAUENG.DLL

5. Reboot

Now try to install your updates. Hope it fixes yours too, sdlomi2
