Windows 2000 Server Hangs on Windows Updates

A Windows 2000 server in application mode with SP4 IE hangs connecting to
Microsoft's Windows update server. Page doesn't refresh and I have to close
IE through Task Manager. Condition started after downloading and installing
a Windows update package. Any ideas how to correct other than reinstalling
Windows?

Server is clean of sypware and viruses.

I am having the same problem. Have you found a solution yet?

I am having the same problems that I noticed on a server yesterday
after contecting to the update server. The whole server is acting
funny. I cannot even end a service without it hanging.

I am having the same problem. After searching, the only close hit that I 've
found is an issue with APC Powerchute version that needs to get an update to
version 7.x due to JAVA Expiring. I will try as soon as my users leave the
server.
