dognosh,

Open the WindowsUpdate.log located in the WINDOWS directory (folder).
Either post the last 20 - 30 lines of the log for the date of the last
visit to Windows Update or locate the error codes associated with the
last failed update attempt and post what you find into your response.

( The error codes will look similar to this one :
0x8024400D )
