Some Automatic updates could not be installed

I am continually getting told by XP (Service Pack 3) that updates are ready
for my computer. When I try and install them, I get this: "The following
updates were not installed: KB971486, KB969059, KB958869."

I went through my Windows Update history, and the first update that was
unsuccessful was KB971486. So I downloaded this update to try and install it
manually (with the "WindowsXP-KB931784-x86-ENU.exe" /o command), and I got a
message saying that "Setup has detected that the Service Pack version of this
system is newer than the update you are applying. There is no need to install
this update."

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. There are newer updates
that won't install because of this issue. Thank you.
