Windows 2000, anytime I attempt to install the updates I get this error.
What is going on and why isn't there a solid fix yet?

Hi,

Please see if this helps:

1. Start Explorer.
2. In Explorer, right click on "My Computer"
3. Select "Manage"
4. Expand Local Users and Groups.
5. Select Users.
6. Open the account used to access Windows Update.
7. Click the Member Of tab.
8. If you find anything else than the "Administrators" group there,
remove those other entries. You need to have only the
"Administrators" group listed there.
9. If you did any changes to the Member of list, log off and on again,
and try Windows Update again.

Hi,

Do you have "Client for Microsoft Networks" installed/enabled for your
network connection?

I had the same problem and this post solved it for me. Yes I did not have
Client for Microsoft Networks installed. Installing it enabled me to install
all of my Windows Update. Thank you very much!!
