My suggestion - when you start Windows Update, select the custom option and just choose to install one update. Clear the others, and just start at the top. After you've done the first couple, see if you can do the rest in one go.

I had a similar problem myself a while back; this solved it. I can only assume that two of the updates clashed with each other and caused the process to stop.

I had a major problem installing windows 7 updates when i first got my computer.

It turned out that a program, Teatimer (the real-time monitor installed with Spybot Search & Destroy) was the issue. Deactivating the program solved the issue
