Hi To reset the pending download you now have, clean out the Download folder (WU5's temporary download folder) located here: %windir%\SoftwareDistribution\ (%windir% is typically C:\Windows) You can use the procedure described here: http://v5.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/v5consumer/showarticle.aspx?articleid=11&ln=en You might need to delete the DataStore folder mentioned in the link above, as well as the EventCache folder. Note that a side effect of deleting the DataStore folder is that you lose your WU v5 History listing (not critical).
