Hi,

If It Hangs At 0% Try Going To Control Panel, Network, Under The Configuration Tab, 
Scroll Down To The TCP/IP Listing For Either The "Dial-Up Adapter" Or Your Network 
Card (If Your Doing Ethernet For DSL, etc), And Double Click On It (Click On The 
OK). Click On The "DNS Configuration" Tab. Select The Enable DNS Radio Button. In 
The Host Window Type In Your Login User Name. Just The Name, Do NOT Add The @ Sign 
And Whatever Follows It, If Used. Then In The "Domain Name" Window Type In The Name 
Of Your ISP (xyznet.net, Or abcxyz.com, etc.). Click All Of The OK's And When Ask 
If You Want To Restart Answer NO, Then Restart Your Machine Manually Using "Start", 
"Shutdown", etc. After The Machine Restarts Try Your Updates Again. Should Work! 
Did For Me.
