Windows 2000, with automatic update service running, add/remove programs

panel shows no list of installed SW and stops responding. Browsing to windows

update site makes IE6 stop responding. Automatic update service cannot be

stopped, but can be disabled and after reboot, is not active. Then,

add/remove programs list is populated, and browsing to windows update site is

possible, but complains that automatic updates service is not active. Start

the automatic updates service and windows update can get to the green

progress bar searching for updates. This does not come to an end.

How can I update my computer ?

I forgot to mention to use Firefox when visiting this site.

A firefox plugin is installed.

The update won't be as up-to-date as Microsofts site but at

least it works.
