Windows Update hangs at 43%

Running win2k server sp4. Did the rollup july 19 and now the windows update
no longer works, msinfo32 hangs the server, and I cannot install new software
that requires the windows installer package. I get no error messages, the
system just stops responding. Just recently, tried to upgrade to 2003 server
to no avail. I am at wits end
HELP!!!!

I have an almost identical type problem but with Windows-XP Home (which had
been upgraded from Win98). One thing I gave found is that ALL of the
HKCR\Microsoft.Update.<XXXX> registry keys give me an error indicating not
allowed to view the values (but allowed to modify) and when trying to
overwrite them from values exported from a working system they don't import
and I can't update them.

I don't know if this is what is causing my problem... you could try checking
