Hello,
Here's a list of the failed updates I've attempted to load on my system via Windows Update:

Windows XP Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1 and .NET Framework 3.5 Family Update for .NET versions 2.0 through 3.5 (KB951847) x86 Saturday, June 30, 2012 Microsoft Update

Windows XP Security Update for Microsoft .NET Framework 4 on XP, Server 2003, Vista, Windows 7, Server 2008 x86 (KB2656351) Sunday, January 08, 2012 Microsoft Update Windows XP

At this time, the update process hangs up with 35 un-installed "high priority" updates pending, which apparently will not install until the failed one(s) are installed, so my machine now seems totally un-updateble...!

Here is my system info:

I may have found a possible solution on this website:

However, it appears more complex than anything I've ever attempted before, so I'm reluctant to try it.

FWIW, according to the Add/Remove Programs listing, I have .NET Framework 2.0 SP2, 3.0 SP2, 3.5 SP1, and 4 Client Profile loaded on the system.

Thanks for any suggestions...!
