Default Install initialization hangs

Whatever I try to install, third party software, games, or XP or office
updates, the install process hangs in the install initialization step--it
just stops. Task Manager says its "running." I've waited over 4 hours for
it to finish. I first noticed this trying to install the "Malicious Software
Removal" update in either Sep or Oct (I forget), but that may be a
coincidence.

I have Windows Installer 3.1 (KB893803), at least according to the control
panel/add remove programs. I have msi.dll version 3.1.4000.2435.

I am running XP SP 2
