If there is a problem with the update, you can try Microsoft FixIt. This program will look for any troubles with updates. just google on microsoft FixIt
 
stop windows update services, delere the softwareDistribution folder, restart Windows update service, Run windows updates again.
 
You can try downloading WSUS Offline (google it, it's free) and download the updates with this program, then install them. Also, if you just installed Windows 7, it's normal to stay a long time until he determines what updated you need at the first run of microsoft update. Check in task manager if there is an svchost.exe using a lot of your CPU. If it is, that's the update service, so it's working, so let him do his job.
