Windows update in windows 2000 not working?

I have two servers in my network that I am having a problem patching. I run
windows update on them, and it comes up with the list of patches that need to
be applied. I say go ahead and it fails on all of them and says it needs a
restart, so I restart and the same thing happens.

NOTES: 1, the "download size" of the patches is 0kb so apperently during one
attempt or another they were downloaded? If so to where and how can I delete
the information that they downloaded and get those again?
2, On one of the servers I decided to manually download and install the
patches, and that worked except for 4 patches KB941693, KB944338, KB945553,
KB948590. On these 4 patches the patch runs, hits and error that says access
is denied (access to what I do not know) and then it displays a text box
saying it is cleaning up the patch, then it closes, and then it reboots my
server, which is really annoying that it doesn't give any sort of warning it
is going to do that.

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated

Are you using WSUS?

Perhaps try the WSUS Newsgroup

If the problem was confined to windows update I would feel it appropriate
there, but seeing as the problem is somehow linked to the KBs themselves
also, there is more of a problem than just Windows update.

We do not use WSUS so it is still a windows update/windows 2000 issue.

[Mr. Ben, please only reply to this thread which will continue the crosspost
to Win2K General. Thanks.]

Tip: Temporarily disable real-time protection by your anti-virus and/or
anti-spyware applications (e.g., CounterSpy, Spysweeper, Spybot Tea Timer,
AVG Anti-Spyware) and/or any third-party firewall (e.g., ZA) before
attempting to install the update(s). If you disable your firewall
temporarily, don't do *anything* else online except attempt to
download/install updates!
