Irene Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 You could search for the failed downloads here. Just enter the KB number and search, then try to install them. :) .....MICROSOFT DOWNLOAD CENTRE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come back and tell us if you resolve your problem.I am certain that someone else had a similar difficulty not long ago.

ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted December 1, 2007 Report Share Posted December 1, 2007 Run a manual update at http://www.update.microsoft.com/. This will also fail, but once you have the display of the failure, click on the link beside the red x; it will give you the error number. From this we can investigate what the cause of the failure is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
