I get the "critical update notification message" every day on my windows 2000 server. I try to dowload them but they fail each time. No error message, no partial install nothing. I see the files download, then install, then I get the screen that says Windows was unable to install updates, press back button to try again. This has been going on for months. Can't figure it out. Please Help.

This may be a stupid question but are you attempting to install the updates as a normal user, if you are the error is expected. You have to have Administrator access rights to install the updates on 2000 Server.

When i said normal user i meant anything else but an Administrator. not just an account that has the right to log on locally to this server.
