RE: OT - Microsoft Security Bulletin MS03-040 (828750)

Can you get to the Windows Update web page? If so does it freeze at 0% or 33%? If so there are some fixes available. If you can get to the web page, there's a button towards the bottom left for help with Windows Update. Check in there as Windows Update seems to need a LOT of help.
