Help with updates

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.

If it's true that we are here to help others, then what
exactly are the others here for?

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.
