try manually downloading it from

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=a8f5654f-088e-40b2-bbdb-a83353618b38&displaylang=en

then installing it,if that doesnt work then

stop the windows update services. (right click my computer>manage>services)

then rename the "software distribution folder this is found in c:\windows\software distribution.rename it to softwaredistributionold or similar.

then restart the windows update service.reboot your pc and then re update your machine

give those a try
