If you go to the Update site, and review your history there should be some more information on why it is failing. Please post anything you find. Until then there is a KB555175 article and the link to directly download Windows Installer so you can try manually.

Did you go to the Windows Update page and look for the History to see what error it logged?

I don't know what you meant by that.

Go to Windows Update and install anything it says it needs to update. After any updates have been installed, on the left side under Options there is a link for Review Your Update History, click that and then you should see the failed install attempts. Click on the failed one and post what it says.
Thanks.
Thanks.

Go to Start -> Control Panel -> Adminsitrative Tools -> Event Viewer
On the left side select Application, on the right side, scroll through and see if you see anything with a red circle and an X. Double click on them and then if they are related to when you tried to install the update, post them here. Do the same thing for the System log.
Thanks.

Most of these are repeated several times, due to me trying to install them several times.
