[dba-Tech] Windows 2000 -- no automatic updating?

I'm having all kinds of trouble -- this system hasn't been used in years and 
so, it doesn't have the latest updates and trying to get them is 
frustrating. I keep getting, "you must install X update first..." when 
that's the update I'm trying to install!

I was just thinking about letting MS do it via the update page.
