Go to Windows Update with Windows 2000 SP3. The page comes up asking to scan. This will fail. But I know something is incorrect because the status bar is showning the progress blue bar which never finishes. I could leave it moving from right to left for 100 years it will never complete. I have seen this before I just cannot remember what the solution was. It may be to upgrade to IE 6 which cannot be done. Any suggestions? The error code is:

(0x800C0008)
