Question : Windows Update failed

I am having issues with windows update.  It fails everytime.  I registered all the dll files like many websites suggested.  I also ran the microsoft hotfix for the update problem.  MicrosoftFixit50202      -   that is supposed to fix this problem.   Didnt work for me in regular mode or in aggressive mode.     I am running windows xp.    The updates fail at download.  ! or 2 might download out of 38 but they fail when they go to install.  


these are the updates its trying to install.
