Microsoft and Windows Update just hangs

I haven't had any updates installed after Feb. 2006 even though I have
Automatic Updates turned on. When I go to manually update using either
Microsoft Update or Windows Update, I get the "Checking for the latest
updates" with the green progress bar but nothing happens. I left the computer
alone for a couple of hours and it still at the "checking...." stage....

What do I need to do? I run McAfee VirusScan, Trend House Call and Microsoft
Anti-Spyware thinking something was going on but no luck.

Try registering the following:

Click Start, select Run and type (pressing enter after each one and wait for
the success message):

net.exe stop wuauserv
Press Ok

Repeat for the following:
regsvr32 wuapi.dll
regsvr32 wups.dll
regsvr32 wuaueng.dll
regsvr32 wucltui.dll
regsvr32 msxml3.dll
regsvr32 atl.dll

net.exe start wuauserv
