"Install" button not working in updates

HI all. My iPhone 3G is still working terrifically on version 3.

However a couple of weeks ago I started to have problems with updates. When I chose one of the updates to install I go to it's page and click on, say, the blue "Free" button and it changes to a green "install" button. Normally clicking on that green "install" button initiates the password request and sets the install going.

But for the last couple of weeks clicking on the green "install" button just makes it switch back to the blue"Free" button ... and back and forth and back and forth.

No updates will install.

Back in the updates section I CAN use the install all button and it works. But some updates I don't want to install because they disable some functions.

Anyone else experience this ? Is there any fix ? I have tried hard resetting but no success.

iPhone 3G, iPhone OS 3.1.3
