Hi Cheryl G,
Would you:
1) Navigate to the Windows/system32 folder
2) Find the file "WgaLogon.dll"
3) Rename that file to WgaLogon.dll.old
4) Reboot and rerun the Stand-alone installer (downloaded from http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=69498)
Tell me if this resolves your issue or not.
Thank you,
Darin Smith

Hi Cheryl,
That Limited Virtual memory warning concerns me. I'm not going to say that the System Hanging is not a WGA issue, but I do think that there may be issues larger then WGA that are causing WGA to hang your system.
I would suggest creating a WGA Service Request at https://support.microsoft.com/oas/default.aspx?c1=509&gprid=9860 (WGA issues receive free support)
Thank you,
