YW.

Why only some of it (unless you meant that you only used KB932100)?

You /must/ use IE to update via Windows Update website.

Is Automatic Updates enabled?

Does that mean you backed-up the Registry prior to running
MaxRegistryCleaner? If a Registry cleaner doesn't automatically make
back-ups of the changes being made (or prompts you to do so...and you do
so), steer clear of it. In fact, it might be a good idea to steer clear of
all Registry cleaners: Your use of MaxRegistryCleaner may be why these
updates are failing. Read http://aumha.net/viewtopic.php?t=28099 and draw
your own conclusions.

If you followed the instructions in KB923100, you should have manually
downloaded/installed the .NET Framework versions you originally had
installed. Then Windows Update/Automatic Updates should have offered you
appropriate Service Packs and Hotfixes for them.

Please post about any additional Windows Update problems in the Windows
Update-specific newsgroup: microsoft.public.windowsupdate.

PS: .NET Framework v2 and .NET Framework v2 SP1 were released years ago.
Why did you still have a .NET Framework v2 beta build installed?
