Security updates for Vista won't install

Since Feb 9, several Vista security updates (7 in total, e.g. KB2483185, KB2485376 an others) fail to install. Reported errorcode 80071AA7.

In last few days these few other updates did install without problems (e.g. KB890830).

Try to install one at a time and not all at once.
Set Windows update to notify and and not install. You install yourself one at a time.

Thanks Rich, Tried that. Selected only 1, even that wouldn't install.

Try one at a time with a clean boot

Thanks again Rich,

I followed the clean boot protocoll and installed 1 by 1 the 7 security updates.
2 continue to be a problem, the other 5 installed with no issue. The problem items are: KB243185 (error code 800719E4) and KB2482017 (error code 80070643).

Any other suggestions to get passed these two problem items ?
Is there a way to overrule these security updates and simply deny installing them, cause now they keep coming back as critical updates...

Thanks for the help Rich.

BTW : does Fairfield CT mean you have a relation to GE HQ ?

I have seen it many times
GE In the same County not the same town.
