On the little info you have given. I would download the 272mb sp2 separately. Then integrate it with autostreamer.http://www.softpedia.com/get/Tweak/System-Tweak/Autostreamer.shtml
Try sfc /scannow http://www.updatexp.com/scannow-sfc...
check for viruses & spyware (adaware)
After trying to download updates, look for any error messages, then search that number in microsoft. I think microsoft doesn't provide updates for service pack 1. So you will need to install sp2 first.
Have you passed the wga? ie is your copy of windows genuine?
