A few days ago, I posted the following message, requested
help with Windows Update:
I have checked for available updates for Windows 2000
Professional, then attempted to install Internet Explorer
Service Pack, but got the following Windows Update Error
message:

"Windows Update has encountered an error and cannot
display the requested page."

I am offered some pages where I might find helpful
information, but have been unable to find any information
that is helpful.

Can anyone tell me why this is happening, and what I can
do to install theses updates? Thank you.

I got this response from Emmers Presson:

"Try downloading the update directly and bypass Windows
Update to see if that works."

Thank you, Emmers, for responding. I did as you
suggested, and now I have more issues. When trying to
install the first update, I got this message:

"Setup was unable to install all the components. Please
close all applications and try running Setup again." When
I do that, I get this message:

"A previous installation has pending work requiring a
reboot. You need to restart your computer to complete
that installation before running Internet Explorer Setup.
Setup will now close." No matter what I do, I keep
getting the message telling me to reboot and that the
pending update will automatically resume and download the
needed files. But this is not working. Can anyone help
me????

I had the same problem throughout December , but then suddenly it started
working again all by itself, which kinda makes me think that the prob is at
MS's end

I too tried all the suggested cures for this issue from the knowledge base
and none of them worked for me either
