Windows Update Installation problems

When i go Windows Update it shows i need some "non-critical" updates, but is fails to install them. Any ideas why this is?

1. Make sure you use Internet Explorer
2. Make sure you have the latest version of Windows Update [the one that shows how much MB is remaining]
3. Make sure Internet Explorer allows ActiveX Controls
4. Make sure you have a strong internet connection
5. Make sure you don't have viruses/etc

You have to put a check next to the noncritical updates you want to install.

I don't even bother with the non-critical updates.
