Microsoft Windows 2000 Updates

I have been having trouble downloading all updates and just noticed that I haven't had a successful update in almost 1 year. Why? Each update download has failed. On Jan. 5 I began working with Microsoft support regarding the problem. They had me do multiple things to try and fix the issue:
  • I temporarily disabled all ad-ware, zonealarm, norton anti virus, etc.
  • Deleted all copies of the WUTEMP folder
  • Reinstalled the update engine After performing each step as indicated, I attempted to download updates, but did not succeed. Each download failed. I tried to contact Microsoft tech support again for some more help, but they are now indicating the I have to contact the computer manufacturer.  Do you have any suggestions?

    Did you ever get a fix for your problem? I am encountering the same thing. Suddenly I have 30 security updates that need to be installed and they continually fail to install.

    If you found a solution I would be grateful if you would share it.

    Unfortunately, no.  I have not found a remedy.  I will keep you updated if I do.

    bit more extreme but u could always just backup and re-install Win2K as not getting security patches is quite critical and definately worth the rebuild.
