| 885414 | 2010-05-18 06:34:00 | MS has already pulled the Windows 2000 updates me think despite the 2010 July date. I haven't recevied new updates for yonks. It's our 2nd computer and I hardly pay attention to the the update balloon. There is a Windows 2000 Update right - that webpage does not load. Within that there is Office 2000 integrated right - that also does not load - after some reading apparently Office 2000 was pulled with 2 months notice last year :D Been trying to get some of the manual updates, been a mission and still is, there are dead links. What have been info has just been deleted. Ie., you cannot download the SP1 anymore that was once available. There is a 3rd party site I think, I think the others are there, crossed fingers that SP3 still on the MS site that appears to be 10 odd MB. SP1 apparently is just a 150Kb which grabs file off the MS site, but that connection is lost. Nor could you download the full download "network deployment" version. They didn't even leave it there :annoyed: You read one webpage right - under support section you have a link and you click it - it's a dead link. |

| 885415 | 2010-05-18 06:40:00 | Go to the windowsupdate site. Updates havent stopped yet. You dont need SP1 to 3. All you need is SP4 (www.microsoft.com), which is still around There's some 2k updates here (www.microsoft.com s&displaylang=en&stype=s_basic). Get the IE 6 ? Sp1 updates as well I dont think Office 2k had SP4, only SP3. The link for Office 2k SP3 is here (support.microsoft.com) 58 mb |

| 885416 | 2010-05-18 06:47:00 | I was meaning Office 2000. I have SP4 for Win2k. Will try that page again but I think with a Wndows 2000 and / or with Office 2000. The page does not open. |

| 885417 | 2010-05-18 07:00:00 | Updates for Office 2000 (office.microsoft.com) | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 885418 | 2010-05-18 07:02:00 | @ Nomad. Just paid my monthly visit to MS updates and had no problem dowloading 6+ Megs of updates. MS has NOT pulled the plug yet. bluenose |

| 885419 | 2010-05-18 07:16:00 | Windows/Office Update does not work. I have Win2k SP4 - great. There is a Windows Update icon on the start menu. It points to: http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/ But it says: The website has encountered a problem and cannot display the page you are trying to view. Take the following steps to try solving the problem: Refresh the page. In Internet Explorer, delete your Temporary Internet Files by going to the Tools menu and clicking Internet Options. Close and then re-open Internet Explorer. If these steps don’t work, try visiting the site later or using the resources provided below. For self-help options: Frequently Asked Questions Find Solutions Windows Update Newsgroup For assisted support options: Microsoft Online Assisted Support (no-cost for update-related issues) Speedy - that link yeah thanks. I have that. Some of those I hope are still working. I have the SP3 Office which is 10 or 20 odd MB that sounds like a full install. SP3 requires SP1 or SP1a to be installed first. That site (and others off MS), only provide the 160Kb installer. The ~50MB file is gone. If you try to run the 160Kb file - it grabs the file off MS servers right - the connection does not work. I am currently FTP'ing from Hungary. |

| 885420 | 2010-05-18 07:25:00 | Just found the remaining updates for Win2k :p (manually). | Nomad (952) | ||
| 885421 | 2010-05-18 09:33:00 | Got working by installing IE6. Had IE5. Maybe it was b/c we had IE6 but uninstalled it reverting back to 5. 600 entries manually was a bit difficult :D Just gotta deal Office. Not bad 3 pages of manual stuff. Provided that download link works. |

| 885422 | 2010-05-18 09:38:00 | In post 8, I said IE6 HAD to be installed if you wanted to use the windowsupdate site (if this is what you mean). The windowsupdate site WONT work with IE 5. I found this out, when I went to the site with IE5 (using 2k). I HAD all the Office updates on one of the hdds here (till it decided to die). And that was the end of that :lol: |
