After reboot, "Windows could not upgrade the file %1 from %2"

Every time I try to install the latest Windows Update
(Cumulative Security Patch for IE 6), it downloads just
fine, but then when the computer reboots, before the
operating system even loads, I get 6 lines just like the
one in the subject, white letters on a black screen.
Anyone have any ideas?
