On the WU Website, select your history of updates - now click on failed
update (red mark) and see if there is an error code.
If there is an error code, write it down and post back or in the
alternative, do a search for the error code.

and/or
Check Windowsupdate.log
Click Start, select run and type: %windir%\Windowsupdate.log
What are the errors associated with the failures?

You cannot install updates that you download from the Windows Update Web

The error code I found for Security Update for Microsoft .NET Framework,
Version 2.0 (KB928365) could not be installed was 0x643. Can I now get some
help getting rid of the error message? Thanks.

When you try to install a security update for the .NET Framework 2.0, the computer may
stop responding, or you may receive a "0x643" error code

I utilized both hyperlinks.  I too am having the same error when attempting
to update my Windows.  I followed the instuctions regarding the "services"
module and the BITS feature for updates.  It's "started" and "automatic" (and
I rebooted after).  Yet, I still receive the following errors when attempting
updates:

Please begin a new thread about *your* problems, Scott, or open a free
support incident.  Thanks.

Tip: Temporarily disable real-time protection by your anti-virus and/or
anti-spyware applications (e.g., CounterSpy, Spysweeper, Spybot Tea Timer,
AVG Anti-Spyware) and/or any third-party firewall (e.g., ZA) before
attempting to install the update(s). If you disable the third-party
firewall, make certain that you enable the Windows Firewall!

Why do you still use Windows XP? Windows 7 Give your reasons. Do you plan to upgrade ever? If so, when and why? If you use both XP and 7, do you ever plan on ditching XP for good? What will you do when support is dropped to the point where this OS will be problematic with new hardware? Personally I am waiting for Windows 8 to release a second service pack. XP sucked when it first came out until
