Windows XP Home SP3
Intel Pentium 4, 1600 MHz
1024 MB system RAM
NVIDIA GeForce2 MX/MX 400

(Wasn't sure if I should have posted in the General Security Forum or not)

Problem:
Last Tuesday's (Critical Update) Security Update for Windows XP (KB951748)
"A security issue has been identified that could allow a remote attacker to misrepresent a system action or behavior unbeknownst to users on Microsoft Windows systems. You can help protect your computer by installing this update from Microsoft."

Will initialize installation but...WILL NOT INSTALL.

I have rebooted, run Spybot/Ad-aware and other Security scans just to rule out any Malware or other intrusionary cause but, with the same result (failed to install).

*Note that two other Updates along with this one installed with no problem.

Over the years I think I've only had one or two Updates which failed to install and these turned out to be caused by a problem at MS's end and new Updates were re-issued and installed successfully.

I've searched around to see if this is a universal problem but as far as I can tell it seems I may be the only one who has had difficulty trying to install this Update. Otherwise I'm not having any problems with my system.

Any suggestions?
