when i try to download patches they freeze after
downloading and wont install, what do i do
 
freeze ??
Have you tried manually downloading the whole patch
and then manually installing it ? Go to the KB article of
the same name and follow the links to the download, or
use the Catalog portion of Windows Update, or try to
search on the KB number at microsoft.com/downloads
 
Hi Mike, any of this relevant to your situation?

If Updates fail to install:-
If you receive a 643 error message or a message indicating that Windows
Update was unable to complete the operation. This may occur if the catalog
database (Edb.log) is damaged.
Try this:-
Click Start, click Run, type cmd, and then click OK.
At the command prompt, type the following command, and then press ENTER:
del /q "%SystemRoot%\System32\Catroot2\Edb.log
This command will force the catalog database to rebuild itself.

Windows Update Is Not Installed

This issue may occur if you use the AOL Web browser interface to access and
download Windows Updates. The AOL Web browser does not communicate properly
with the Windows Installer software, and this may cause Windows Installer to
stop responding.
