Hello David,
The problem you encountered with the Office Update site may be related to
similar problems some people have had with the Windows Update site. What I
recommend you do is go to the Updates for Office 2000 page
http://tinyurl.com/3eyye and attempt to download them there. If you
currently have updates they're probably listed in Add and Remove Programs in
Control Panel.
Due to the large size of service packs and some others, this may be a better
solution in the long run: If you know someone who has broadband and a
DVD/CD-RW, see if they will download the updates and put them on a CD for
you. Then you can install at your leisure. If you ever have the need to
reinstall Office \ Win2K, having all the updates on a CD would be priceless.
Get the Office updates as above. For the Win2K updates you'll need to use
Windows Update,
http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/en/default.asp, a little differently.
1. On the side of the Windows Update screen, click "Personalize Windows
Update".
2. Check "Display the link to the Windows Update Catalog under See Also."
3. Click the "Save Settings" button.
4. Click the "Windows Update Catalog" link.
5. Click "Find Updates for Microsoft Windows operating system."
6. Select your operating system (RTM for 2000/XP to view all updates).
7. Click Search.
8. Put the updates you want in your download basket.
9. Select your Download Location.
10. Click Download Now.
11. Burn the updates to CD.
Good luck,
Sven Swanson, Sr.

Re: W2k Pro, Office 2k Updates?
Hello,
I run W2k Pro sp4 / Office 2k /AVG Zone Alarm 3.5
on a little desktop at home ("56k" dial-in only).
The OS is up-to-date. Outlook 2000 is at 9.0.0.9211.
I don't think any O2k updates have ever been applied.
About a month ago, I went to Office Update at:
http://office.microsoft.com/OfficeUpdate/default.aspx
and checked for Office 2k updates ("... may take up to
1 minute at 56k ..."). The screen froze at 30%
and ceased to download info (for 15+ minutes).
I tried it again today with nothing else running
on the system. Same result.
Does anyone have a feel for what might be going on
here? How I might go about getting updates for O2k?
Any/all info/help would be much appreciated.
Cheers,
David
