Windows update keeps searching

Hi,

Since a few days i run into the following problem(s). XP has downloaded the
latest updates and when i try to install them during shutdown it keeps
running for a large amount of time. This morning i wanted to look into this
and found out that the Windows update site keeps searching without returning
the results.

I have done the following:
- Tried to repair by reinstalling Windows Installer 3.1
- Re-registered DLL's according to information found on the net

I hope someone has the right solution!!

Thanx for your help
Kind regards,
André

Andre I had a similar problem look @ page 3 of posts. Titled "pc freezes when
trying to update". Below is the advice I was given worked 4 me and 2 others.
For a possible fix to this problem,
please do BOTH of the following:

1. (not for Vista) Download and install update KB927891 version 3:
<http://support.microsoft.com/kb/927891>
and then restart Windows.

2. For 32-bit systems, download and save to hard disk, and then install:
