Windows Update (Win2k)

[spoogenet]

Has anybody had any issues with with Windows Update site? In case you didn't read my other post, I'm running Win2k (no SP) and IE 5.01 (no SP again). I have tried to download the last couple security updates, however they fail.

Event Log gives these responses:

My best guess is it's due to my security settings? Could it be because I disabled the Remote Registry Service? (although I thought I disabled that long before I had issues with Windows Update)....

Any help is appreciated. I can furnish more information about security settings if requested.

Thanks,
