Trying to figure out my hardware problems (see previous post) I went to the
Windows update page and found 11 critical updates I needed to install. But
tried twice and both times the updates did NOT install. The only message
I'm given is that the updates "failed."

Any suggestions?

In fact, viewing my update history I find that these updates have failed
everyday since I upgraded to Service Pack 2 -- a period of over 25 days!

Short answer is I'm not sure, as MS has recently changed its download page
and no longer can I find how to see what my download history has been.

But I think it has been all downloads since I upgraded to Service Pack 2 a
few weeks ago.

That being said, I just now tried to load a download, the only one I found
for XP and it seemed to download OK.

How do I find my download history now?

Ignore previous reply. I found the page that shows my update history.

The answer to your question is ALL updates since I upgraded to Service Pack
2 on May 27. As I have automatic updates turned on, it shows a total of 530
updates, although they are the same updates that it tried to upload once a
day, I guess.

A sampling of the 500+ failed updates shows the same error code: 0x80246008
..

Does that tell you anything?
