Windows Update not working
This is a discussion about Windows Update not working in the Everything New Technology category; Windows update always reports that there are 0 updates, in all categories, for my system. I before you even ask, as others have, no it isnt a pirated copy of 2000. I own my copy of 2000 pro. I have SP3 and SP1 IE6 installed, I installed both hoping to solve the problem.

There is an article on the MS Knowledgebase that deals with WindowsUpdate not showing the correct items.
Have a search around it and you'll probably turn up the answer. You need to delete a few files, and then when you connect to WindowsUpdate again it should work properly.

I guess I am not searching for the right key words, because I have found nothing on Microsofts site.
It's here, I found it with little effort, after searching with keyword 'WINUP' FYI.

Nope not my problem. My problem is that Windows update always reports 0 updates. I have posted this on a dozen different forums and no one has been able to solve. I have had this issue on a few different machines, with various versions of windows.

I know that some Pre-SP4 Hotfixes have been released, so I doubt that's the case.
