Update 'stuck' - Winupdate page freezes

Win2k sp4
I noticed the update Icon (download/notify) was stuck at 21%, I rebooted PC
it immediately showed 54% and was stuck.
Start>Winupdate, IE opened at MS update page and froze.
Started IE, Tools>WInupdate opened new page and froze
IE functions on MS main site & all other sites.
Cleared cookies/temp files etc, ran AV scan and various malaware scans - all
clear.
Any thoughts?
(Not the same sys as my recent Bits post)

Cured

Downloaded Dec12 IE6 cumulative update admin install, and installed.
On reboot update Icon stated 'updates ready to install' these then
installed, and winupdate page functioned correctly
