EDIT: No, nothing like that, I just downloaded a bunch of updates off of MS's site and none of them would install.
It's just really frustrating to have to download a bunch of crap that doesn't work.
Download new update software -> Prove to Microsoft that I'm not a pirate (Genuine "Advantage" my ass) -> Download ****ton of updates -> ****ton of updates don't work ->

Looks like it might be time to do a little surgery on my computer. A couple new hard-drives (to replace this cheap-ass one in my comp now that I KNOW is gonna break) and an OEM copy of XP Pro (So I have an install without a bunch of useless crap) would do quite nicely.
