Windows XP updates unable to install

KB896428, KB900725, KB886185
Windows XP Professional
Fresh install
All other updates were successful (over 50) including SP2
This has happened before when installing a fresh copy of XP Prof and
rebuilding again, re-running updates usually fixes the problem. I'm trying to
avoid the rebuild again though. I am connected to our domain which has policy
setting automatic updates checked and grayed out. So these three updates have
already been downloaded - they are waiting to be installed. Looking for any
suggestions.

What type of PC are you using? Try doing a system restore if you
havent. Try running them as an administrator if you can, or have an IS
tech try it as an Admin.

This is a Dell Optiplex GX400. I tried a system restore. I have been
successfully downloading and installing windows updates as admin. I have
tried using our domain network connection and a stand alone cable connection.
I have tried these updates with no other software apps loaded including
Symantec. I turned off firewall. I "msconfig" and turned off all un-needed
start up drivers and devices via safe mode (diagnostic testing options). I
tried re-regeristing win xp pro. dll's via www.geocities.com/batchfix

Level 1 MS Win tech was not able to solve the prob. so they have moved issue
to level 2 and will get back to me in 24.
