I just restarted my machine and went back into windows update.  It showed that the install had failed and I clicked retry and the progress bar jumped to 80% and finished.  I think for the status bar is just not being updated in a timely manner for the update so it looks like it is frozen even though it is still downloading.

MS has really created a mess with the Critical Updates for Vista and Win7. And they don't seem to be doing anything to fix it. We, the long time customers of MS, are finding it more and more difficult to download/install critical updates. I'm surprised no action has been taken to have MS fix this situation. MS stopped updating WinXP, but they are still supposed to be supporting Vista and Win7. Why aren't they doing it?
