Updates don't install

Mid feb I had a major problem with Vista updates, involving multiple system restores to fix the system.

However, now I am unable to install some updates:
  • Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer 7 in Windows Vista (KB944533)
  • Update for Windows Vista (KB937287)
  • Update for Windows Mail Junk E-mail Filter [March 2008] (KB905866)
  • Update for Windows Vista (KB943899)
When installing updates, and click help on the error message, it is a WindowsUpdate_800B0100 error.

Manually installing each from the knowledge base fails too.

I tried installing SP1 standalone, as it wasn't appearing in Windows Update, and this fails too: "An internal error occured... Error 0x800B0100... see Error message when you try to install Windows Vista Service Pack 1: "Installation was not successful" or "An internal error occurred while installing the service pack" for details".

I cannot do a system restore, as my earliest point has now been set to my attempt to install SP1.

I upgraded from Xp using an express upgrade disc, so don't know that I can reinstall Vista either.... help?
