xp update installation error

after downloading updates when I got windows XP update for ME and now some of
the updates say they have either failed or that they have been canceled.
I am unable to re-download them.
is it possible to install them another way?

You can download them from the Catalog and save to be installed later.

Click the “Go To Download Basket� link. Type in or browse to the location where you
want the updates saved to and then Click the “Download Now� button.
Once downloaded, you can then burn them to CD.
