When those updates attempt to install, they write individual log files in the WINDOWS directory.

For example, Security Update for Windows XP (KB950762) will create KB950762.log. Have a look at some of the log files for the updates you have listed. (HINT: pick the smaller logfiles, not the larger ones.)

There should be an error message towards the end. (Warning: the error messages are not always clear as to what is / is not happening.) If the log file is small enough (e.g. a few kB only) post that along with the log asked for by Tarun.
