Latest Windows Update

I'm struggling a little with these last 12 Windows updates, many of which appear to be security based. My primary Win2k computer handles the update quite well, and now has them successfully installed. My other Win2k computer (a much older and slower machine) downloads them, but only gets to update number 2, best I can tell, and then says the downloaded updates can't be installed. No error message, no explanation. Do they really not care, THAT MUCH? I mean a little hint would be nice.

Anybody have a workaround or alternative way to get these latest updates? Doesn't seem to matter whether I go to MS.com or click my WinUpdater.
Thanks for any suggestions,
Charles

 

Well for those who wanted to mention this one, but didn't get around to it... I went to MS download site and manually procured two of the twelve updates, and installed them individually. Then when I tried the "Windows Update" process, again... it went off without a hitch.

Just in case someone else has that problem, too. Maybe it worled like siphoning liquid through a hose.
