I believe this will fix it George. You might need to download the fix from
another PC (333 KB) to removeable media. Make an educated guess about
whether SP1 needs reinstalled during the process.

Windows Update | Personalize Windows Update | Display the link to the
Windows Update Catalog | Save Settings

Windows Update | See Also |Windows Update Catalog

Find Updates | Windows XP SP 1 | Advanced | Contains these words "Q817287"
(without the quotes) | Search

Add to Basket | Download

http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=817287
"This update resolves issues associated with the catalog database Windows
uses to ensure the integrity of installed binaries. Q817287 allows the
database to repair itself if corruption occurs."

So,

* ren "%SystemRoot%\System32\Catroot2" "%SystemRoot%\System32\CatrootOLD"
* Reboot
        * Reinstall SP1 <- (may not be necessary, so skip this on attempt #1)
* Install Q817287
* Try the updates that previously failed. (If no go, repeat the steps and
reinstall SP1 and then all necessary updates per hfnetchk/mbsacli output.)
