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).
