Windows Update scan stops at 0% (Windows 98 SE)

Can anyone help? When I go to the Windows update page and click the start
scan link, the scan just stops at 0%. I would love to be able to get some
updates!!

I have tried the following suggestions without success:
1. Downloaded latest version of Windows Script 5.6
2. "Repaired" Internet Explorer
3. Reloaded Windows Update software
4. Turned off the autodetect options in IE Lan Settings
5. Did a ShieldsUp test to see if port 443 was open - got a Stealth response
and was able to access other https: sites

Any ideas? Thanks....
