3 Windows XP Critical Updates will not install

Gordon · Dec 10, 2003

The following updates will not install on one pc, - they
are all to stop an attacker from gaining control of your
pc. They are XP KB828035, KB823182 and KB824141.
I tried several times to no avail.
I reinstalled service pack one, and retried - same
response. All other security updates install no-problem.
Any ideas how to overcome this ?
