Have you tried running Dial-a-fix to try and fix your Windows Update? If it's freezing you may have more severe issues.

Try out http://pool.ntp.org/ and select your continent, region, etc. So for Australia (going by your flag in your topic profile) you should use any of these: server 0.oceania.pool.ntp.org server 1.oceania.pool.ntp.org server 2.oceania.pool.ntp.org server 3.oceania.pool.ntp.org

How many tabs do you have open?

Have you tried the SymNRT tool?

Mike, it'll work just fine for those uses. You may want to check and be sure your hardware was XP capable. But you'll really enjoy the ease of use and security you'll get with Windows XP. Don't bother messing with nLite. More trouble than it's worth. You're best off with a nice clean plain vanilla Windows install.
