You need ALL Critical Updates installed.
First look for any Service Packs, install latest service Pack first
and alone then reboot.
Then go back to Windows Update and see if there is a Rollup, if so,
install that alone and then reboot.
After those there may be fewer updates since some updates may be
included.
Install the remaining Critical Updates no more than 3 at a time.
Reboot between each set.

Thanks for your reply - was previously told to install all - but - they did
not complete. Your suggestions seems to sound better. Since I am not the
all knowing mentor for this sytem - how do I know which SP to install first??
and do I need to really install all 25 ??
Thanks again for all the help
