I came accross the same problem on a friends computer - I managed to get round the problem by seperating the numerous updates into chunks. It might take five restarts instead of one or two but it did work. Also you stated that you are using a laptop - but i trust you connect directly into your router (not using wireless connection) when doing large software updates over the net.
Thanks mumbodg for your help, it has now installed, it didnt install in safe mode it woudnt let me, but i tryed it in ordinary mode from desktop and it worked fine.
do you know why it wouldnt install from ordinary update.
Anyway thanks again.
