Hello!

When I download these 3 updates below I restart my
computer and then go back to windows update and they are
still there ready to be downloaded again. How can I
download these and keep them on the computer? I ordered
the Security Update CD and it still wouldn't update these
three. I didn't get an error message with windowUpdate on
the web but I did with the CD. The error message is "INF
Install failure. Reason: The specified Path is Invalid."

Windows Millennium Edition:
-Update for windows media player 9 series (KB837272)

Critical Updates & Service Packs:
-Critical update for Internet explorer 6 service pack 1
(KB831167)
-Cumulative security update for Internet Explorer 6
Serivce pack 1 (KB832894)

There is alot left out when making an issue.
Have you tried running a simple scandisk and defrag?
Are there any anti-virus running along with other
programs running that might interferr with a security
update? What does add/remove programs have listed
referring to security updates?
