Yet Another Windows Update XP Home question.......sorry!

I have mentioned this before, and am still having problems. This, main
computer Vista Home Premium 6, SP1, IE7, is connected (Broadband) to
another computer, XP Home sp3, IE 7.........I have tried several times, on
the XP Home computer, to get this particular update, and each time I have
the same result.......Error Code OX 800 7F0F1 Cumulative Security Update IE7
Windows XO (KB961260) fails to install...in my Update History it is listed,
as failed,a dozen or so times, along with another one,
KB950215................my question is, should I just 'hide' the first
update KB961260, and should I/if so how, delete the other failed updates?
Are they a problem if I just leave them listed?
