When I turn off at night, I click on 'install updates' because I get the message that there are some ready for download. PC turns off, but will not accept the updates.

Everything possible is wrong about Microsoft. I run Windows XP Pro., and you pay for swiss cheese. A CD, with nothing but security holes in the CD.
I had the same problem. All of my 88 or so security updates said, "downloaded and ready for installation". Would not installl. When I went to Windows Updates, and tried to download and install every update, I just reinstalled my platform, I only see, "download size is 0kb and connection speed is 0 minutes".
I have one of the very best antivirus programs in the world that is used by the Govt. Of China. http://www.filseclab.com and I have no viruses, or spyware as I am required by law to keep my pc clean.
Here is how I resolved the problem of installing the updates. (I have no viruses, an I ran http://housecall65.trendmicro.com/
because after the complete scan, showing zero viruses, their server will show all 88 missing updates and directs you to each download one by one from a different Microsoft server.
I have ADSL, and only an update for wifi, will not install, as it says downloaded and ready for installation. Still get the same Microsoft garbage.
I have received the usual answers from Microsoft, "unable to resolve the problem". Par for the course with Microsoft.
Here is the hardware update that I am unable to install for the reasons above, says downloaded and ready to install, but 0 size is 0kb minutes 0.

Best to go to the windows update site and update from there if your auto update it no working. It is a good idea to do this every now and then even if you don't have problems as the auto-update doesn't always download every patch to the system which could lead to this problem in the future.

Better if you have auto updates to either leave you pc on or goto the updates site and instal them from there before you turn off your computer.
My computer never sleeps so i have not got those problems.

Don't worry about what spooky says.
I get what you mean. It may be that you have a corrupt or pirate copy of windows.
Try running a disk check by going to startmenu> my computer.
Right click on the main hard drive (usually c) select properties, tools, disk check. Make sure both boxes are checked and then select check now.
It will tell you that this will run after your next restart.
try this
If this doesn't work and you have a copy of windows. then go to microsoft.com contact us and tell them the problem.
They will email you back a solution...

When you turn it off it deactivates the network connection. That will take priority over the download.
