LOL I just reloaded Win2000 on my spare (backup) FAT-32 hard drive to use as emergency access to my NTFS formatted XP drive. I noticed that after I downloaded and installed SP-3, access to the critical update page at MS changed. Also, Win2000 starts up and shuts down much faster. Actually I'm impressed because it does better than XP in that respect. But what I'm getting at is maybe if you applied SP-3 you would regain access to the critical updates. I can't remember if you have already installed SP-3 or not. Lots of Win2000 users have refused to apply it because some of the changes supposedly make the system unstable.
