My Microsoft Update isn't working. Its not worked for months now. It detects what I need, downloads then fails to install and doesn't log anything. The last few log entries had error 0x80246002. Something seems to be corrupted to me.

Basically you have to stop the update service. Rename the folder were the updates are downloaded and create a new one. Then restart the service and try Windows update again. I have seen this a few times and this process has always worked for me.
You could also run this tool as I have many times.

The cryptography service doesn't seem to be running. It isn't listed by the services program in W2000 apparently.
