Absent any serious numerical Errors elsewhere in your windowsupdate.log, you
may be seeing a delay caused by excessive demand on the servers ("Update is
not allowed to download due to regulation"). See:

Updates are not downloaded or the “Automatic Updates� icon does not display
the status of downloads when you enable the Automatic Updates service:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/910340

You can try downloading/installing the updates via Windows/Microsoft Update:
Understand that by doing so, you're pushing all other Automatic Updates
users further back in the queue (which may explain, at least in part, why
Automatic Updates hasn't brought them in for you yet).

Thanks for the help. I was thinking it was something in my registry that was
turned off but since the OS is fully functional, I don't need to Panic Now in
nice comforting large red letters.
