no updates after repair install

This system, WinXP home SP2, failed to boot, didn't even get up to windows loading, unable to get
to safe mode IPL. After a repair install which went fine the system will not install any of the 93
outstanding updates. I use custom & choose "Review and install other updates
If you do not install Windows XP Service Pack 3 (KB936929), other updates might still apply to your
computer. "
There is no error code given. they show 0 size and a disclaimer that the update is downloaded & if
I select it will finish installing, which it does not do when selected.

I have turned off virus scanning and used the Windows update trouble shooting to no avail. The
system appears to be operating normally other than this problem. Any ideas or suggestions?
