I can download but not install any criticals/high priority updates via
windows update site. I get the following reported message...

Problem: A problem on your computer is preventing updates from being
downloaded or installed
Solution: To fix the problem, try installing the updates again. If that
doesn't work, use the Troubleshooter to try solve the problem.

I tried install again but same result and the troubleshooter, if that what
it is meant to be, is of no use.

The (current) updates in question are:

KB925486 : Security Update for Windows XP and
KB915597 : Definition Update for Windows Defender (Beta)

Appreciate any help in resolving

You fail to mention if the OS is XP SP1 or SP2.
Go here for KB925486 and click the appropriate link for the SP that is
installed :
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/Bulletin/MS06-055.mspx

Save it, do not run it from it's location. Close IE.
Install it.
If it fails to install there will be a KB925486.log located in the
WINDOWS directory (folder). Open that log and copy&paste it into your
reply, please.

MowGreen,

Thanks for prompt reply. OS is XP SP2. Downloaded KB925486 from download
site and installed no problem. Went to control panel\Add remove and via
"change" button associated with windows defender, downloaded and installed
latest definition (KB915597)

Re-run of windows update now shows no critical/high priority updates.

From this I conclude that I don't have a problem with my PC per se. Problem
thus lies with the (auto) update process and/or associated files on PC ???
