Automatic Update Service stuck in starting

Thanks for your assistance in advace. I have a windows 2000 sp4 server, and
the Automatic Update service just stays stuck in starting mode. Cant stop
it, cant start it. There are no errors in the event log. Not sure what else
to do at this point.

I dont know how old your install is but you should check this KB
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/891861

It may help
remember you can always install patches individually
and genuine advantage authentication can often get stuck



Dear Mr Gates
I need a Tech support job I understand that you hire many
people from India, Germany and other countries through outsourcing.

I am an American and work is very hard to find.
It has been over a year since my last computer related temp job.
And that was a $10hr outsourced job from a big company
to install POS systems using WinXp as their base.

I have had to take jobs that are not in the field such as warehouse
and retail jobs just to earn money but this is not a career and can
not pay my bills or health care.

Again I am in serious need of good work and hope that you may
hire me instead of hiring someone outside of the USA

I can not afford to move and I would not like to move to another
country just so I can have a 50k a year job with health care.

Please I am begging you

I have supported your company and defended you personally
in the past many, many times and I have personally made you
millions of dollars through recomendations of software purchases
over the past 23 years.

I need work
and I am honest and willing to work
