I tried to run the windows critical update but it always
locks up after the download portion is completed. It
scans my computer tells me that there are 27 updates that
can be installed. I select all of them and begin the
process. It starts to download and when the progress bar
is completed and shows 37.9MB/37.9MB completed but still
shows 1 minute left it locks up and will not continue to
the install portion. I left it there for 3 hours but it
does not continue.

thanks for your help
 
Hi,

We had exactly the same problem last week on a pc we were
building - it turned out there was a worm on the hard
drive which was trying to get at the microsoft website and
their website had seen it and was trying to block it which
in turn was causing the downloads to fail.

We disinfected the PC and after that it downloaded all the
patches with no problem.
