Updates not installing - Vista Ultimate

Ever since November 13th (Tuesday), I have been trying to install the same
updates over and over again to no avail. They are:

Cumulative Update for Windows Media Center for Windows Vista (KB941229)
Update for Windows Vista (KB941649)

Every time I instal them, it asks for a re-start. So I do that, and the
computer usually runs through TWO restarts before coming back in a
ready-to-use state. Two minutes later, I get a notification that updates are
available and ready to install - the same updates I tried installing before.

So the bottom line is, none of my updates seem to be installing. I've
changed no settings in this computer at all. These updates have just decided
to stop correctly installing.

Help is much appreciated.
