Sorry for the long delay, I have been on the road

The problem is your computer has a piece of hardware that does not have SP1 supported driver. The windows update is designed to fail the install if the computer's hardware is not supported in SP1. I have known some people download the whole SP, 500mb, and install it, this way you defeat that feature of windows update and hope for the best. Professional advice - don't do it - the one person I know who did spent all weekend trying to get the update to work. He had to locate some third party driver, because the audio card manufacturer, that Dell used, had been bought out by another company, and the new company wasn't releasing a new driver for the hardware.
