Windows Update errors link in operable Properties

When I occassionally get the window to open
after this
Checking for the latest version of the Windows Update software...
(the big freeze)

"Depending on your connection speed, this might take a minute. During this
time, you may receive one or more security warnings. Review each security
warning to ensure that the content is signed by Microsoft, and then click
Install or Yes to install the software."

I click and nothing happens.
I hit properties on the underlined links
Express Install (Recommended): High Priority Updates for Your Computer
and
Custom Install: High Priority and Optional Updates for Your Computer

I get a protocol unknown and a java scan message, does anyone who has
windows update operating get this same properties message?
With the install methods?
