All MI updates fail to install

I upgraded to XP. I registered. I was able to download one update which I
think makes it possible for me to update. After I restarted my machine, I
ran the MS updates. It found many. When I click install, every download fails
to install. I even chose a couple by themselves to install under the custom
install and those failed as well. Is there a particular order? If so, I
would think MS would be smart enough to install them in that order.
Any help would be appreciated.
thanks

Ignore the title - Updates are not installed successfully from Windows Update, from
Microsoft Update, or by using Automatic Updates after you repair a Windows XP installation
