Thank you for that information. I downloaded and installed the failed
upgrades from the Catalog.

Hello Drew,
You can download manually at the Microsoft Update Catalog site:
http://catalog.update.microsoft.com/v7/site/Home.aspx
If you know the update number type it into the Search box (e.g.
KB943055)
When it finds it, click the Add button.
When you're finished adding downloads, click on 'View basket'.
Click the Download button.
Browse to a folder to hold your download(s).
Click the Continue button at the bottom.
Watch the progress bar. It will change from Wait to Done.
In your Download folder each file will be in its own folder, with the
executable inside.
p.s. for February 2008, I have these:
KB942830
KB942831
KB943055
KB946026
KB929338
