Frustrated With Updating My OSX

I always run my Software Update on my machines. I like to be up to date no matter what OS I am running. For some reason my OSX machine that is already at 10.5.7 won’t update any of the things that require a system restart to install. I am looking for alternative means to install the updates but it’s frustrating that they won’t just go :P

I will keep you posted on my woes but this isn’t the most interesting way to spend a Sunday afternoon. Lucky for me I am not too mobile due to back pain so this is appropriate activity.

*** Update – I was able to download the updates and install them manually from www.macupdate.com. Worked like a charm. Still is concerning though :|
