I am unable to do these three security updates: KB970238, KB97451, & KB975517.

My OS is Vista 32 and I have installed the SP2

I tried in safe mode, installing during a restart and installing manually. Upon looking at my update history, I have 12 other failed security updates. I unistalled McAffee and installed Windos security essentials, cleaned my computer with CCleaner, ran Spybot, and defragged my computer. I have a Compaq Presario PC: SR5214X.

The 12 other failed security updates are :
KB950762
KB951066
KB951698
KB952069
KB953155
KB954155
KB958624
KB958644
KB958687
KB959426
KB960803
KB970238
KB974571
KB975517

I listed them in order thinking that maybe I should do the earliest one first, one by one manually. I can't download a single update. Please help if you can.

80070490 Error: Windows update encountered an unknown error
01-Mar-10

I am running Vista Ultimate SP2 running 32bit version. I have nothing loaded
except the OS, Office 2007, and system software and itunes.

I seem to be stuck with 3 security patches getting constant error saying it
can not update.

What is the solution? I been reading through a ot of posts, my Vista does
not have an upgrade option. I just installed this version of Ultimate Vsita
and got iut patched all the way to SP2 before this error message started.

It is Mar 1st 2010. I would assume this bug fix has been identified by now.
