windows update problem. genuine copy
Discussion
I just clicked on windows update like I have done many times in the past.(I have automatic update turned off)
It is a genuine copy of XP and gets past the searching for updates thing. down loads and verifies the updates(29 high priority) then tries to install them.
I get a message all 29 instalations failed but no reason or code I can see to google for. firewall problem possibly? although I do not recal altering its settings.
any ideas? thanks in advance

Thats by clicking start and going up to windows update. I dont know any other method.
It gets past the windows genuine thingy and searches my system for updates and then gives me a list of updates to select.
Ive tried them one at a time it makes no difference
I then click install updates and it downloads the all saying 1 of 29 etc etc when they are all downloaded it then says installing.
sits like that for a few seconds and says instalation failed.
