Office 2000
in [Windows Update]

From: Steve Doerr on 28 Jan 2010 06:43 How does one check for updates to Office 2000? As far as I can see, the Office Update service is no more and Windows Update/Microsoft Update does not cover Office 2000. Is there another route? -- Steve
From: Peter Foldes on 28 Jan 2010 09:01 Steve Unfortunately the answer is NO. Microsoft has discontinued all updates including security updates for Office 2000 as per their agreement with the DOJ and Sun. Windows 2000 and Office 2000 is history as far as updates go. -- Peter Please Reply to Newsgroup for the benefit of others Requests for assistance by email can not and will not be acknowledged.

From: PA Bear [MS MVP] on 28 Jan 2010 10:55 No, you're SOL when it comes to checking for updates. However, all previously released updates for Office 2000 (no longer supported) are available for download here: http://catalog.update.microsoft.com/ Steve Doerr wrote: > How does one check for updates to Office 2000?

From: Frederick R. Hutchings on 31 Jan 2010 21:42 Hi PA Bear, I just tried that link and it downloaded an ActiveX control and then was redirected to an error message here: http://catalog.update.microsoft.com/v7/site/Error.aspx?id=-1914896352. Please help. Also, does this automate the process of installing all the updates SP3 and later? If not, does MS offer a CD with all of them?

Well, I know that Microsoft's servers have been having a boatload of problems since the 29th so what you're seeing might be related. Judging from the problem I've encountered at other MS websites since then, I don't think they've got the problems sorted quite yet. cf. http://blogs.technet.com/msonline/archive/2010/01/29/response-to-north-america-connectivity-issues.aspx In the meantime, see if you can find & download the updates one-at-a-time via the Download Center: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads Nothing about the Microsoft Update Catalog is automatic, Fred. Think of it as a download manager of sorts, allowing you to download multiple updates (files) in one go-round. If you're referring to Office 2000 SP3, I can assure you that it's not and never has been available on CD (at least to the general public). Frederick R.
