All XP updates failed after manual install of IE7
Shortly after IE7 came out of beta I allowed Windows update to automatically download and install the upgrade....it failed, then I went to MS site and manually downloaded and installed IE7. Success. Ever since then I have been unable to downloaded eight downloads...see below.

Cumulative Security Update for ActiveX Killbits for Windows XP (KB950760)
Security Update for Microsoft .NET Framework, Version 2.0 (KB928365)
Security Update for Windows XP (KB950762)
Update for Windows XP (KB942763)
Security Update for Windows XP (KB951698)
Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool - June 2008 (KB890830)
Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer 7 for Windows XP (KB950759)
Security Update for Windows XP (KB951376)

...although Service Pack #3 has installed itself....???...not sure how that happen. Its (SP3)listed in Add/Remove...I have searched the web and followed several suggestions...ie, stop windows update service, then delete several folders from Software and Distributions directory...restart windows update service...reboot machine...and still to no avail.

Several links from Google suggests downloading a "free" tool....but that has resulted in me pulling out my credit card for purchase....not happening.

If this sounds familiar to anyone and you've found the fix "please" pass it along my way.
If any additional info is needed please dont hestiate to ask...thanks so much for your reply.
