Reinstalling updates

I am having to reinstall all my updates. 84 of them. They all download and
start to install. All goes well until I get to #75 which is the IE-7 update.
It will not install. It starts to update and then continues to run for
hours. I have turned off my pop up blocker and my anti-virus but it will not
complete the install. This is the third time I've tried it. Can anyone tell
me how to proceed. I have downloaded it months ago and it worked OK, but
because of a problem I had to reinstall my OS and all the updates. Thank you
for any help. James

Try giving youre pc & its OS a break,downloading & installing all at one time
is bottlenecking all,try 30 or so at a time.Use the custom update button &
select in groups.
