WindowsXP Update process stuck

I was shutting down my computer and was asked to install the latest windows
updates. I did not pay attention as to which updates is was becuase I
installed 6 updates successfully yesterday on my laptop.

Windows started the install process and for the past several hours has
displayed the following two messages:

"Installing update 1 of 6" and "Do not turn off or unplug your computer; it
will turn off automatically"

It seems stuck....

What should I do??
