My PC won't install updates. It has downloaded 87 updates but when I select
install they are all listed as failed? Is there a way to force Windows to
install the updates? I've listed the failed update below.

Microsoft Update, or by using Automatic Updates after you repair a Windows
XP installation

Go here and read the replies and what to do...
