Until now I had no problems with Windows Update (I am using Windows XP Professional).
My last update ended in the following situation:
The update process shows the successful installation of
KB2742595, KB2742596, KB2736416, KB2736428, KB2737019, KB2737019, KB2729449, KB2604111, KB2604092, KB2604110, KB2656407, KB2604121.
I started Windows Update one more time.
Now, these updates are shown again "downloaded and ready for installation".
I tried Microsoft Fix it center - no problems are reported.
I repeated the installation of the updates 2 or 3 times.
Windows Update allways shows the updates again "downloaded and ready for installation".
