Why would I receive the Windows Updates installed successfully message when,
on checking the log file for a KBnumber update, there are comments
(sometimes, not always) that the installation failed, or there were other
problems finding certain items?

Does Microsoft have a downloadable tool that can check my system's
configuration and let me know of problems I can then fix? I use XPHomeSP2
IE7 and other stuff, in a standalone situation.

With regard to the installed updates, and there are quite a few since I got
my PC mid-2005, how do I know they have actually installed successfully and
are working?
 
Sometimes the Windows Update site may not show the true status.
That is why I suggest another tool such as MBSA as well as the History and
Windows Update site.
 
Thanks to you both. I will try what Jupiter has suggested, and get back to
you re the outcome soon.
