After windows repair, Win updates wont install

[tibs]

So something when haywire....I had to use the windows repair to get windows to start up (after spending $300 on a full retail ver of windows after my 2nd or 3rd OEM copy ive purchased from newegg cd key didnt work anymore).

So again i used the windows repair, now after windows update downloaded its updates, every file it downloaded and tried to intalled fails. Ive tried over and over and rebooted.

Ideas?

Stealth Windows update prevents XP repair

The trouble occurs when users reinstall XP's system files using the repair capability found on genuine XP CD-ROMs. (The feature is not present on "Restore CDs.") The repair option, which is typically employed when XP for some reason becomes unbootable, rolls many aspects of XP back to a pristine state. It wipes out many updates and patches and sets Internet Explorer back to the version that originally shipped with the operating system.
