I am unable to download ANY updates when I go to the
Window Updates site. I check the ones I want or need,
the accept/decline screen comes on, I check accept and it
goes into the download mode but just sets there. Where
is the problem in the Windows XP Pro? I did not have
this problem when I ran Windows 2000.

You say it "stalls" or freezes at the download phase. Have you noticed how far it goes at download? or is it stuck at 0% download?
See your log file & the Troubleshooter.
You need to find & "isolate" the section of the log for that "fail date".
Use Windows' Notepad to open this log:
C:\Windows\Windows Update.log (for Win XP & Win98/Me)

Having found the "error" , then do a "search" on this MS page. See MS Windows Update Troubleshooter
