At the Windows Update Page, eight security updates are identified as
being required. These were downloaded but an error message posted
saying that Windows was unable to install them.

Now it appears as if they are not being re-downloaded but merely
re-processed and the resulting message is always "unable to install".

Any suggestions?

System:

Windows XP Home SP2
512 Meg. RAM
80 Gig. HD
2.6 Ghz Pentium IV
