I was asked to see if I could get a machine at work up to date. Usually I can handle most computer problems with ease but this one seems to have got me stumped. I've run two different virus scans, spybot search and destroy, emptied the cache, and tried again and again and I can't seem to get several windows update items to install correctly on this computer.
Belarc Advisor says the following (taken from Installed Microsoft Hotfixes) items need to be reinstalled:

I'm completely baffled about what to do. I tried to check the Knowledge Base but I couldn't find anything that seemed to be very helpful (there is so much crap that comes up with the search function).
I'm tempted to nuke the entire computer. This machine initially had a Windows ME install. I have an unused legal update of Windows XP, but I don't know if I can wipe and install just the upgrade without the ME first being installed. The ME install disks aren't here, no one knows where they are. I think I'm going to go ahead and nuke the machine.
Any thoughts/suggestions/etc?
