Running Win 2000, service pack 4.

* Files required to use Microsoft Update are no longer registered or
installed on your computer. To continue:
*Register or reinstall the files for me now (Recommended) (Tried this)

> The current version of Windows Update is not installed and registered correctly.

Download and *save* the Windows Update Agent (WUA) by clicking the
Download link under:

" Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003,
and Windows 2000 Service Pack 4
The following files are available for download from the Microsoft
Download Center:


For an x86-based computer
Download the windowsupdateagent30-x86.exe package now.<--this link "

Disconnect the system from it's network/internet connection for now.
Configure the system to Clean boot:

How to perform clean-boot troubleshooting for Windows 2000
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/281770

Run windowsupdateagent30-x86.exe. Restart when it's finished.

DO NOT reconnect the system to the network/internet unless there is a
firewall running *** outside *** of the OS as it will NOT be running a
software firewall in the Clean boot state.

IF there is such a firewall available, then reconnect the system and see
if it can access Windows Update now.

Otherwise, UNdo the Clean boot config steps, restart, reconnect, and see
if the system can access WU now.

If no joy, there *may* be an issue with malware occurring here.
