I have window xp home, I have just put this back on after buying and not
likeing Vista, anyway I have installed service pack 1 to 3 and now there
are more updates, windows downloads them and then comes up with
a "these updates were not installed" error
this is the list of updates that fail to install.
I can see that some are older updates but can anyone help me in my quest to
get the others installed.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for that clark, I`m off to give it a go........
 
Actually this article covers this problem (in case anyone is interested) -
Updates are not installed successfully from Windows Update, from Microsoft
Update, or by using Automatic Updates after you perform a new Windows XP
installation or you repair a Windows XP installation
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/943144

Method one is usually sufficient and only involves the re-registration of
one dll.
