Updates never install

Hello,

I am running Windows 7 and have 26 updates that are either "recommended" or "important" that fail to install upon my computer's restart. The installation during shutdown goes fine, I guess, but during the "confirguing Windows updates" part of the restart process,

I can't get passed 15% before an error message of "Failure to install windows updates" comes up. The error code that updates reports is 80071A90.

I have tried turning off/on my McAfee firewall, the automatic fix tool from Microsoft, as well as trying to download and install several of the failed updates through the MS website each time there is an error message saying that he update "does not apply

to my computer." Please help me out as this is getting seriously annoying and I might actually miss out on some important updates. Thank you,

-G
