Security Update for Microsoft office publisher
Security Update for Microsoft office word 2007
Security Update for Microsoft powerpoint
Security Updates for 2007 Microsoft office system x3

Hello,
Try installing the updates one by one and then restarting after each one. I always create a restore point do install this updates in this way. I have had issues with some updates in the past and if you install one by one you find out which one is the culprit.
