[gptalk] workstations not upating Group Policy

I have a workstation that is not updating it's GPO settings. 

When I run gpupate or gpupate /force  nothing happens,  the cursor just sits 
there.  I tried flushing dns,  removing from the domain and then adding to the 
domain again, but this  did not help.  

Any ideas of how to remedy this situation?
