One of our W2Ksp4 servers is unable to be updated via the Windows Update
website.
I can go to the site, scan for updates, review and click install, the
license aggreement pops up and I can okay that, but then the "downloading"
screen appears but there's never any progress.

The fixes I found on MS and the web that suggested re-registering a few
dll's (I can't remember the exact list) and also checking 2 registry
settings but that didn't help.

Incidentally, the link at the top of the start bar doesn't do anything at
all - click, flash of egg timer, then nothing.

Any suggestions would be welcome, as it's a pain having to manually apply
the patches...

thanks,

Mark Hanford
