Windows Updates Fail.

I have been trying to update my wifes computer via the Microsoft Update Site. It has always updated successfully in the past. However, it now always fails and the list of security updates is growing. I have listed the current updates that are selected after the system scan that fail each time I try. I even tried turning off my internet security to no avail. Her system is a Dell Inspiron 600m running XP Pro. Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated.

    That's why I posted. I can't. The download fails on every try both through the Windows site and Automatic Updates.

    Thanks APS. I did manage to find and download the updates individually rather than through the normal Micorsoft Update page. I now used all the steps listed in your link and hopefully I won't have this problem next time.

    You are welcome-best wishes. The window's updates usually come out the middle of each month.
