You could try this:

Open Command Prompt (Start Menu\Programs\Accessories), by right-clicking it,
and choosing Run as Administrator. At the prompt type (or Copy and Paste):

cd C:\Windows\System32

Press Enter. Then type, if Vista is on your C drive (otherwise substitute
the appropriate letter):

fsutil resource setautoreset true C:\

Press Enter. Close Command Prompt. Reboot your computer, and try to update
again.

I had the same problem with failed updates not installing. What I found out was I had installed "Microsoft Office XP Pro" and that was causing the problem. Once I un-installed that, my updates worked fine. Hope this helps.
