I am having the same problem. I updated some PC's in my
company on Thursday and now NONE of them can do ANY
update. 11 XP Pro's and 1 Win2000 box fail to update.

You go to the update site, click review and install
updates, then you get a message saying that the updates
failed to install.

Anyone have a solution to this one?
