As reported earlier on this site, it appears there is a problem with Windows Update version 4 for Windows 2000 users with Service Pack 3 installed. Today I discovered how it to fix this problems and get it working again.
To begin with, when I entered the Windows Update, all appeared well. But when I did a scan, the browser would stop functioning. This problem would also manifest itself on my other Windows 2000 set ups to. So I thought I would actually get around and install Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 Service Pack 1 Final (Build 1106IS), which was also released a few weeks after SP3 was. When I returned to Windows Update, installing MSIE 6 SP1 fixed both the crashing bug and error code 0x800A138F. I hope this little titbit help's any of the Windows 2000 users out there.
