update horror

WELL RECENTLY I'VE BEEN UPDATING MY PC AND ,LAPTOP AND FOUND TO BE HAVING
SOME PROBLEMS WITH THE INSTALL'S AND SOME OF THE DOWN-LOADING OF THE UPDATES.
FIRST THEY STARTED TIMING-OUT ALLOT,THEN I HAD TO DELETE AND RE -INSTALL
WINDOWS 3.1ON MY LAPTOP.
LATER MY PC WAS HAVING PROBLEMS AFTER I TRIED TO INSTALL THE SILVERLIGHT AND
THEN ALL HELL BROKE LOOSE.
SO CA ANYONE TELL ME WHAT'S UP?

1. What operating system are you using, your post indicates Windows 3.1?
2. Are there any specific error codes?
3. Please perhaps check the Windows update log
