xp updates fail to install

[charlie]

hi, i have never had a problem like this before today. i downloaded 8 updates
but they fail to install, i always get the same result each time that i try.
the updates are: kb950759, kb950760, kb950762, kb951376, kb951698, kb942763,
kb941569, and kb890830.

i tried turning off both my anti-spyware and virus software but still got
the same results.

any help would be great!

A short search likely would have come up with the following answer to your
issue...

Try method 1 and try to update*.
If fails - try method 2 and try to update*.

If both of those methods fail...

Get the tool and run it and then try to update*.

*try to update:
- Visit http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/
- If it asks you to install anything before you see a selection of "Custom"
or "Express" - do so.
- Once you see the "Custom" or "Express" selection, choose "Custom".
- Scan for updates.
- When it lists what it finds - install the critical ones.
- You are generally safe doing the Optional Software Updates. I suggest
avoiding the Optional Hardware Updates completely.
