The only clue i've been able to get is that when windows live installer starts trying to install, it pops up saying that another installer is running or a program is preventing the new installation. I'm at a complete loss here - any thoughts? thx

I once had a Toshiba that had one. You could also try doing one update at a time to see which one may be causing the problem. Awards

It may help. Awards

I contacted the support team where i bought the lappie from and the pricks told me that Microsoft had been sending duff updates out - spastics, if that's the case then why did they install ok on every other win 7 pc and lappie i got?!
