Windows update on Windows 2000 server fails to work

Hi guys, I was hoping someone would be able to help me out with this.

I've been unable to get any updates to install through Windows Update
for a while now. Windows Update identifies the updates I'm missing but
they all fail to install. I think it stems back to when I forced
Windows to use v6 whilst it was still in beta (I might be completely
wrong!).

I've been fiddling around trying to get things to work and my Windows
Update is now not getting further than the screen that says it's
checking to ensure I'm using the latest version. No check actually
seems to happen.

So it looks like it's all gone horrible wrong and I really don't want
to reinstall Windows if I can help it! Can anyone suggest a way of
rolling back to v5 or even v4 of Windows Update or reinstalling v6?

All help gratefully received!

Cheers,

Ant.
