KB905915 Update Different Problem Maybe?

OS Windows ME
Normally use AutoUpdate
Have also tried manual download.
Download and install seem to OK.
On restart get DOS screen that reads:

Wnidows could not upgrade the file %1 from %2
%1 : %2
This repeats 5 times
Windows could not upgrade one or more system files before starting
Windows may not start or run properly
If Windows fails to start run Setup again
press any key to continue

Press enter and Windows finishes loading. Everything seems to work OK

Checked Windows Update Log. Does show Error 0X0000054F, what ever that means.

KB825119 Sec Update for ME and KB867282 Cum Sec Update for IE6 were
AutoUpdated 12/13/05. If they were installed out of order cause this problem?

Had a crash on this computer 2 months ago and had to wipe the harddrive.
Went through and redid all the Updates individuall, in order by issue number
