When Windows XP Professional shuts down and there are patches to apply it
states applying patch 1 of 15 and that you should not turn off the
computer... It appears as if it only applies one patch and then turns off by
itself. The next time I boot up and then shut down it says 1 of 14. Does
anyone know why ir's only applying one patch?

The other 14 updates might be dependent on #1 being installed.

I don't know if that is the case but before it did 5 in a row like this.
When I tried the updates when logged in (not when shutting down) it said that
it couldn't apply them. This time after I logged back in it does not
indicated that there are patches to apply, but when I shut down it says
installing patch 1 of 15. Could these patches be leftover from before I
applied service pack 3? or do you have any other ideas?

one more thing....I just did it 3 times in a row and every time it said
installing patch 1 of 15 so it appears that the patches are not going to
apply.

After installing WinXP SP3 (properly), there will be a few post-SP3 updates
to install but none of them should have been offered or downloaded until SP3
was installed.

Open a free support incident about this, Phil. I smell something fishy.

Free unlimited installation and compatibility support is available for
Windows XP, but only for Service Pack 3 (SP3), until 14 Apr-09. Chat and
e-mail support is available only in the United States and Canada.

Once they are installed Auto Updates will not try to install them at
shutdown.
