Automatic MS Updates won't install

My system has attempted to install the latest MS updates this week 6 times,
but 3 will not install. It goes through a lengthy process then, after
shutting down, a window reports they didn't install, those being Security
updates for Word 2003, and Power Point, KB948988, 821598, and 954464.

I'm using XP Pro, IE6 ++, SR2, and all updates current I believe. Use AVAST,
AdAware, run One Care monthly, and HiJack This about every quarter.

Any suggestions? Thank you.
 
Have a look at the Windows and Microsoft Update problem Solver

Suggest you try to (temporarily) disable antivirus before applying updates.
Sometimes they block a part of the process of updates. Turn off any
real-time monitor of Ad-Aware also. Lastly, if something fails 2 times
already, don't keep banging your head against the brick wall.
 
thank you all -- I have tried going to the MS website and running a update
scan ... I had not downloaded some b/c they were titled as being programs I
did not download in the package -- I've reversed that. I think maybe the
problem is that I didn't download that #3 UPDATE ...can't remember the title
but it seemed at the time to be giving everyone fits. :-(

I don't need any fits.
 
Are you still having problems?

LOL I installed updates at the MS site, shut down, etc. and lo and behold
the little gold shield pops up in my sys tray as soon as I rebooted, and
it's download them again. Has MS gone bipolar?
 
"All's quiet on the western front," now... It reared its ugly head over and
over again until I downloaded the MS FIX ...

THANK YOU. (see another weird thing)
