Do you get any error codes? Normally if the windows update fails it will give you an erorr code which you can then work out what is causing the problem.

check your system logs....it may be logging an error in there.. most downloads wont but since this is a microsoft download it might.

Even if you're the only administrator you need to be logged in first.
