Update failure on WIN2000

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

I am running Win2000 SP 4 on my home-built machine, MSI K7N2 Delta
bios. Untill a couple weeks ago, I was getting updates OK. Right now,
when I try to get updates, MS finds four critical. When I try to
download and install, the machine hangs for maybe 10 minuted, then
gives me a message that the updates filed. No significant error
message. I have disabled Zonealarm and f-prot to no effect and
tried to do the upgrades from SAFE mode, also to no effect.
Suggestions please.
