Latest XP updates failing to install

[Guest]

Hi all,

I hope I have the right newsgroup. If not please let me know which one would
be better.

I recently downloaded the latest Security updates from Microsoft. Apparently
they all downloaded correctly but they will not install. Windows tells me to
delete them using the "Add and Remove Programs" but none of the updates
appear on that list.

Any ideas about how to remove them safely and start over?

Thanks

Toney.
