17 repeatedly offered updates not installing

C

Cheshire

I have 17 updates repeatedly being offered & failing to install.



I don't even *begin* to know where to start troubleshooting on this! I have

automatic updates installed & mulitple people use the computer, so I do not

even know which was the first update to fail to install, though I have tried

installing them one at a time with no luck at all (I realized something was

wrong when people commented on it trying to shut down and install multiple

udates each time).



The updates include Windows SP3, Genuine Advantage, and at least a couple of

security updates.
