Does it give you a reason why they are not installed?
Did they ever install properly?
if so, what happened before this started?

Have you tried to manually update?  Sometimes I've found that there will be one or two that prohibit a complete update.

Can you tell us the name of the update that is failing?

Some updates dont install untill you shutdown the PC, and as other users have siad manual update should sort out your problem either way :)

Try unselecting all the updates and then selecting one at a time. Ignoring those that do not install correctly, - then search up on the error codes for that particular update. Or post extra info here if you can't find a resolution.

If you Google (http://www.google.com) the KBxxxxxxx number of the update then you can find if it even relates to a part of your OS that is enabled. (eg the KB935807 update does not install on many (Vista?) PCs, though it addresses the Windows Firewall - which most people (i hope), are not using. So it therefore would be better to just 'Hide' the update.
