I recently went to "windows update"; it tells me I have 7
critical Updates and Services.
It always fails with no error (even done it one by one,
trying to isolate maybe 1 bad update?).

It performs the download for all packages, but comes to
an early end.
Here is the complete text.
-------------------------------------------
No Updates Were Installed

The following items failed to install. To try installing
them again, click Review and install updates, and then
click Install Now again.

Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer 6
Service Pack 1 (KB867801)
Cumulative Security Update for Outlook Express 6 SP1
(KB823353)
Critical Update for ADODB.stream (KB870669)
Security Update for Windows XP (KB840315)
Update for Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS)
2.0 and WinHTTP 5.1 (KB842773)
Security Update for Windows XP (KB841873)
Security Update for Windows XP (KB839645)
------------------------------------

I have a firewall (but microsoft can pass thru), and
SpyBot & AdAware are installed also.

Please help
