With the limited information I can offer the following:
To use WU you need to use IE, you must turn off any pop-up stoppers and you can not use any third party download programs.

I do use IE, and I don't use popup blockers when I do it.

Try re-registering some windows update componentes.

Go to: START --> RUN --> regsvr32 dispex.dll <enter>

It worked for me.

If WU continues to freeze, try the same above procedure with the components below:

regsvr32 msscript.ocx
regsvr32 vbscript.dll
regsvr32 scrrun.dll

Best regards from northeast Brazil,

George
