impossible to install window updates

Please I neeed help
I get the error message when I try to install the updates, but everything I tried didn't work. What should I do?
first the window vista pack 2 was not installed sucsessfully and it blocks the rest available updates

What are the error codes?

Open Windows Update and review your history. Locate the update/s that have failed to install (to see the information on the update/s failed - double-click the update). Check each update, if it has error code 800f0826 then continue until you get a different error code. The update with the different error code is probably the one who caused the problem and will be fixed until you can get some other updates.

Are there additional clues in Windows Update Log?

%WINDIR%\WindowsUpdate.log (c:\windows\windows Update.log)

or this log file-

%windir%\Logs\CBS\CBS.log (recorded all events) (c:\windows\logs\cbs\cbs.log)

    Previously, McAfee SecurityCenter has been installed on my pc, but it has been replaced by McAfee Total Protectiononce the subscription has expired. [It isunderlining] I remember getting a Norton trial software installed at a given moment, but this has been removed to make room for software McAfee, to ensure that there is no conflict between the programs.

    You should have installed McAfee Total Protection before as your McAfee Security Center subscription expires. If you're lucky, the following may solve your problem:

    1. download the Norton Removal Tool, save it to your desktop: ftp://ftp.symantec.com/public/english_us_canada/removal_tools/Norton_Removal_Tool.exe

    1B. download the tool McAfee Consumer Product Removal, save it to your desktop:http://download.mcafee.com/products/licensed/cust_support_patches/MCPR.exe

    2. close all open applications (that is, anything with an icon on the taskbar).

    3. right click on the file that you saved in # 1 above and select run as administrator to run the utility. DO TAP not your keyboard until the race ends, then restart.

    4. now run this triple McAfee fix: http://service.mcafee.com/FAQDocument.aspx?id=TS100507

    [Note that you you already downloaded the removal tool in my # 1 step b above.] You will restart three times: after uninstalling McAfee Total Protection; After you run the removal tool; and then the reinstallation of McAfee Total Protection.]

    5. after reinstalling McAfee Total Protection, manually & repeatedly update the app until you get a prompt "no update more".

    6. for good measure an another Windows update reset (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058), restart once again & test.
