Windows update failing

Hi,
 
I recently purchased a Dimension 9200 with WinXP.   It came with XP Home but I just upgraded to XP Pro (SP2) - not sure if that has anything to do with the problem or not.
 
I visited the WindowsUpdate site and went through a couple gyrations of updates for WindowsUpdate.   It finally showed me the list of critical updates for WinXP which I downloaded and attempted to install.   All 85 of them downloaded but failed to install.
 
The status screen seems to imply that there would be a reason following each of the updates listed as to why it would not install but there is no errors listed.    I did as it suggest and tried to install them several times and nothing works.
 
Thanks for any help,
Dave

    This article refers to this problem when repairing XP, but an upgrade will cause the same problem with windows update.
