While the Windows Update Web site is loading, you receive
Initialization error 0x80072EE2

" This issue can be resolved by enabling "Use HTTP 1.1 through proxy
connections" in
Internet Options.
To enable "Use HTTP 1.1 through proxy connections"
1. Open Internet Explorer, click "Tools," and then click "Internet
Options."
2. Click "Advanced."
3. Click the "Use HTTP 1.1" check box.
4. Click the "Use HTTP 1.1 through proxy connections" check box.
5. Attempt to access the Windows Update site again.
----------------------------------------------------------

You may need to add the following URLs to your proxy exception list:

With wildcards:
*.Windowsupdate.microsoft.com
*.Windowsupdate.com

Specific URLs:
Windowsupdate.microsoft.com
V4.Windowsupdate.microsoft.com
Download.Windowsupdate.com "
--------------------------------------------------------------

Did you try the steps for Win 2K here ? :

http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=319585

Some*thing* is interrupting/intercepting the connection with Windows
Update . Do you have any web "accelerators", download managers,
pop-up|ad blockers installed ?
Which firewall and antivirus program are you using ?
