    I'm sorry but do you understand that there is not so much info written?
    Whatever. If you had Windows 7 it could download SP1 Update which is a trouble. If so, all you can is try to insert DVD disk and use restore point

    I know at least in Vista you can insert the install disk and use the *repair* feature. Good luck!

    This is a known problem with some windows updates. I found an answer by googling "windows 7 hangs at installing updates" it was an easy fix.
