Office 2003 update checker hangs (no message)

J

Whenever I try to run the office update check from either
the Help and Support XP page or the Office 2003 page it
hangs at 40%, every time.

I can manually download and update and sometime it will
say I already have the patch if I did not realise I had
already installed it.

Does anybody know why it hangs just there, and what is
the fix (in detail).

Regarding the 'hang'
(1) I do have admin privileges.
(2) Tried the "Windows Installer Clean Up" utility and
then re-installed Office 2003. [Installation was a bit
quick I thought, especially as all the settings were
kept.] Still hangs at 40%.
(3) Tried the on-line Check Already Installed Updates
which hung at 30%.
What is going on? NB system has hardware firewall so is
Office update doing something that Windows XP does not?
