Windows Updates KB9821168 & KB982524 download but won't install.

[AWS]

I run a MacBook Pro with Parallels on it running Windows XP.I keep getting "updates are ready for your computer".  Updates needed are "KB9821168  & KB982524" the following is what I get.....I have even gone to the Microsoft Update webpage....Click "Install Updates" I get....       Initializing installation....done!       Installing Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 Update for Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP x86 (KB982168) (update 1 of 2)... done!       Installing Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 and .NET Framework 2.0 SP2 Update for Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP x86 (KB982524) 

           (update 2 of 2)... FAILEDThe following updates were not installed:        Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 and .NET Framework 2.0 SP2 Update for Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP x86 (KB982524)I close the "installing updates" window..       When I "turn off computer to install important updates" I get....        Saving Settings        Do not shut off computer installing updates 1 of 3, 2 of 3, 3 of 3....        Windows is shutting down.....Then it shuts down.Turn it back on and check the "add/remove files" window and the updates are not there.Again open the Microsoft Updates webpage and again get the "updates are ready for your computer" windows found 2 updates to install..I was getting the same issues with KB2756918, KB2656407 & KB2604110 but they have been installed and verified in the "add/remove files" window.  So on the Microsoft Update page I have checked the box...."don't show this update again".Can I simply check the box..."don't show this update again"?   Don't know if these are really needed as this is not a Windows Server?Any help would be greatly appreciated.ThanksDan
