recent security updates (KB959426 & KB956572) failure with 0x80070

Windows XP SP3
Toshiba laptop

Hi all
My recent auto update installed 11 of 13 updates KB959426 & KB956572 failed
with 0x8007074F on my Toshiba laptop. All 13 updates were installed perfectly
well on my desktop running same versions of software.

What do I do now

Many thanks in anticipation

Are you sure the error wasn't 0x80070*5*4F??

Even when you do have a correct error code which maps to an error message
in your OS you will undoubtedly need to see its context (or the context of its
decimal equivalent) in your logs to understand the clue it gives.
