I did the taskmanager and stopped anything that was not MS then ran
msconfig and under services unchecked all non MS and restarted system
in what it said was "Selective" mode and did the windows update AGAIN.
It showed all suceeded. Restarted system with normal startup.

Went to add / remove programs with updates showing and it showed one
of the updates there (KB979909) but not the other (KB982168).

Went back to Windows updates and it showed both KB979909 & KB982168 as
being DLed but needing to be installed even though add / remove
programs showed KB979909 as being installed.

I GIVE UP!!! I am pulling what little hair I have out!!!

Did you try removing .NET in Add Remove programs? there's probably
framework 2, 3 maybe 3.5, remove them all .. You need not reinstall them
until you need them . You probably have a program or two that needs them. ..
eventually .. the risk is that those programs might just behave broken, and
may not be programmed to warn of missing .NET frameworks.. but as long as
you keep that in mind . you don't need them till you need them.

I tryed everythin else with no success so I guess I might as well try
that.

If I remove them all will windows update pick it up and re-install
them??

Do not want to screw the whole system up.

Thanks much.

Unfortunately you need to download and re-install the .Net frameworks
yourself .. as it is unlikely Windows will do that automatically until some
program needs it .. see the links here:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/976982
In that webpage there's a link to a .Net Cleanup Utility. The link is
broken, but it can be found here:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/astebner/archive/2008/08/28/8904493.aspx

Cleanup Utility looks like something to try ~only if~ removing the .Net
frameworks in Add/remove programs does not work.

Reboot and then Download and re-install the .NET components (Follow the
re-install advice (with download links) in the first webpage above.)
