Ok it seems u have win update ON !!
First,I wud advice ya to turn it OFF first coz its irritating to have an update popup. In fact I have all th updates turned OFF for all softwares. Neway its upto ya!
2nd, Goto microsoft update site and it will automatically search for new updates corresponding to ur system and install them for ya!
If u have a 24/7 net connection, then Njoy and update everything ->ur system, office Xp etc.
And for the update that doesn't install from the update site, download it and then install it ! It might happen that the update file is corrupt!
