Win 2003 server, standard Windows update issues

Hello,

Got a problem getting updates to a server. The Windows update web site will
not load, BITS won't run so it can't download from the WSUS server either.
BITS, event log entry says BITS terminated with the following... The
specified module could not be found.

I've run the BITS update ‘windowsserver2003-kb84773-x86-enu.exe', says it
was successful but the service will not start after bouncing the server.

Automatic updates starts when the system boots but doesn’t stop, hangs in
the ‘stopping’ state if you try to stop the service.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Is IIS enabled

IIS is not installed, not a web server although it is a terminal server. Are
you refering to the web client service?

BITS still will not start, same error. Windows Update now runs to the point
of opening the 'installing updates' window. Installation status has a
blinking cursor with no text, preparing for download bar is blank as well.
No sign of any progress in the download process.

With BITS down will it download anything?
