Many of the online updates can only run independent of each other. Especailly the IE and DirectX ones. You need to carefully select these, deselecting others from the Windows Update screens.

Tip, do the IE updates first, then the patches for IE. If you can quickly, get your A/V updated before doing too much else, as that might then stop an infection before you can get all the patches loaded.
