We had problems with Win2K. Here's how we solved it: Insert the operating system disk and select repair don't use the "repair console", it didn't wrok for us. It replaces the systems files back to whatever service pack is on the CD. We created a CD with a full version of sp4 and the blaster patch. Then installed SP4 off our CD. (I would probably disconnect it from the network to be safe.) Rebooted the machine and installed the blaster patch. Then went to the windows update site and continued with the remaining patches. Everything was perfect and we did not have to reinstall or repair anything existing on the computer. I hope this works for you.

In one case, I re-applied SP2 and the application of SP4 was successful. In three other cases, SP3 and SP4 fail with the same symptom at all attempts. I have attempted to apply these SPs in a variety of situations, as local and domain admin, with some to nearly all non-essential tasks loaded... all to no avail. If anyone else has experienced this scenario and was able to achieve success, I would be delighted to know what you found... > > > Regards > > > > Todd Wilson > Planner/Inspector/Analyst > HVAC Central Control > Physical Plant Division > Michigan State University > (517)353-1760 ext#370 >
