Multiple Updates fail with Error 80070002

Question
-
On a Lenovo X61s I'm running Vista Ultimate, and I've been seeing the same 5 updates continually fail the past 5 months. All other Windows Updates are successful. Just not these 5:
Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer 7 in Windows Vista (KB944533)
Security Update for Windows Vista (KB942624)
Security Update for Windows Vista (KB943078)
Update for Windows Mail Junk E-mail Filter [February 2008] (KB905866)
Update for Windows Vista (KB943899)
On the Windows Update screen, next to the failure error 80070002 is help link for this error. I've ran through the steps it suggests - stop Windows Update service > Delete temporary update files > restart the windows update service. I then ran windows update again, and the same result happens.
Anyone know whats going on? Have any suggestions?
Thanks.

Hi rrbader,
Thank you for the post.
I suggest manually downloading the updates to the desktop from following site:
KB944533:
KB943078:
KB943899
Restart the computer, keep pressing F8 to enter Safe Mode. Then please double-click the above downloaded packages to install these updates.
for the KB905866 installation, as it is an Office update, we are not the best resource to troubleshoot this issue. I suggest discussing the issue in our Office public newsgroup. Thank you for your understanding.
Hope it helps.
Best regards,
